June's Homebuyer Process


We had two great workshops this summer! In June we held our Homebuyer Process Workshop at National Title's beautiful meeting space. Thanks Jeff and Chris for allowing us to use this space! So thankful to have our partners volunteer their Saturday to come speak to future homebuyers. Marcus Vasquez and Terry with Stellar Bank discussed becoming mortgage ready and what it means to have a mortgage. Erica Goble discussed a much needed topic on title companies, what they do and what closing looks like. The Lady in Red, Maria, ended the session talking about all things insurance, in partuclar home insurance. It was such an informative morning!



July's Financial Literacy for Teens


We wraped up the summer with our Financial Literacy for Teens workshop. What a fun and knowledge filled event! Our speakers Michael Bailey with American First National Bank and Kiyana Duplantier with Inspiring Financial Freedom spoke to our teen group. We also had the honor of having Kendyll Locke with the Office of U.S. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) stop by to say a few words to our teen about Congresswoman Crokett's views on financial literacy.


A little nugget - Kiyana worked for SouthFair years ago as a college student. She was our first Community Development Assistant. So proud to share that she counseled and supported our youngest homeowner, age 20, to purchase a home from SouthFair. She was only 21 herself!

Development Projects


We have had various delays on both our Townhomes at Malcolm's Point and Malcolm's Point Retail project. Delays can be costly and has signficiantly thrown off our timeline.


But don't fret... steps continue to be taken and we celebrate those successes. Here are just a few recent ones:


  • After three years of attempts, SouthFair was approved to purchase a single city lot needed to complete the contiguous 9 lots for the townhomes.
  • After a year and a half in the process, rezoning for the retail project was approved by the comissioners and is up for Council approval.


Our Executive Director, Annie Evans, reminds us often that real estate development is not straightfoward. It is one of the curviest, jagged paths to be on. For the future of the community we serve, we continue on this path. Thank you for your continued support!
