Our dedicated team personally gathers homeowner eligibility information, visits each home to identify needs, performs all inspections, and walks each homeowner through this challenging and rewarding process.

Our history with these programs provides the know-how needed to handle considerable coordination efforts and complex administrative actions with State personnel. We use our insight to contribute to State program development at training and work-group sessions, board meetings and through public comments, striving to improve the program to work better for Texas communities.
