Description

We provide support for the Texas Housing Forum. The Forum's premise is that affordable housing and quality neighborhoods will become a priority only when a broad group of Texans, who are committed to housing, provide leadership to address common concerns. By fostering mutual respect and accountability among housing leaders, the Housing Forum creates new avenues for communication and actively organizes to address housing needs. Working with the Housing Forum, we are laying the foundation for elevating housing to a priority in Texas.

We do not build, own or manage any housing. Since many low-income people have contacted us over the years asking how they can get low-income rental housing, we have developed an extensive Web site called the Texas Housing Counselor that provides detailed, step-by-step information on how to qualify and apply for low-income rental housing. Finding out where to apply and which program is best for you can be a difficult, complicated task. Our Web site makes it easy by asking you some basic questions that will help you find the housing program that meets your unique needs.

These stories of hope have been possible thanks to the work of three individuals dedicated to fighting poverty and providing decent housing for needy Texans. On November 1, the Texas Low Income Housing Information Service (TxLIHIS) recognized these champions of housing justice with the 2005 Texas Houser Awards.

Walter Moreau is the Executive Director of Foundation Communities, an award-winning nonprofit provider of affordable housing in Austin. Mr. Moreau oversees the ownership and management of 1,900 units of affordable housing in the Austin and Dallas areas.
