Below are August 2022 excerpts from On the House, a blog TSAHC launched in 2014 on affordable housing topics. In June 2020, we launched a podcast as part of our blog. We invite you to drop by On the House or listen to our podcasts as we explore important issues, provide an inside look into our programs, and share other valuable resources.
Podcast Episode 26: The ABCs of Shopping for a Home Loan
As kids across Texas head back to school, we thought it might be a good time for us to get some learning in too! In this episode of On The House, our very own Sarah Ellinor will be sitting down with Gracie Perez, a loan officer with Cardinal Financial, to dig through the wealth of information on how to shop for a mortgage loan.
Housing Resources for College Students
The country is facing an affordable housing crisis. The cost of housing, whether it be rental or for purchase, is rising quickly while inventory remains low.

As kids return to school, students going back college will acutely feel the impact of housing costs. A recent article by Housing Matters indicates that while college enrollment has increased over the last decade, comparable on-campus housing to match this increase in students hasn’t kept pace. This has led to a rise in costs for both on- and off-campus options, leading many to experience housing insecurity and homelessness.
Catching Up with the Texas Foundations Fund
On July 19th TSAHC's Board of Directors approved our 2022 Texas Foundations Fund grant awards.

TSAHC created the Texas Foundations Fund in 2008 specifically to support programs that provide housing stability to Texans with very low incomes. Since then, these services have included critical home repairs and supportive housing services, such as case management, job training, and onsite mental and physical healthcare services.
