Who we are

Texas Housing Conservancy (TxHC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pioneering a sustainable solution to Texas’ housing affordability crisis. We harness the power of private capital to acquire and preserve well-located multifamily communities, ensuring long-term affordability for the state’s workforce without dependence on ongoing public subsidy.

Our unique model bridges the widening gap between housing costs and wage growth, delivering both measurable social impact and strong, stable returns to mission-aligned investors. Founded in 2016 by seasoned real estate professionals and affordable housing advocates, TxHC has expanded from Central Texas to communities statewide, actively managing a growing portfolio that creates stability for residents and strength for local economies.

Guided by our values — Transformative, Trustworthy, Collaborative, and Impactful — we operate with transparency and consistency, partner deeply with local stakeholders, and foster vibrant communities where working families can thrive. By aligning private investment with public good, TxHC is preserving housing affordability for generations of Texans to come.
