Thank You to Our Recent Donors
Earlier this month, Regions Bank awarded TSAHC with a generous $5,000 grant in support of the Texas Supportive Housing Institute. This TSAHC initiative provides nonprofit developers with the information, resources, and tools they need to create successful Permanent Supportive Housing developments in their communities.

With this grant, Regions Bank is supporting programs that help vulnerable residents in Dallas County lead more healthy and stable lives.

Thank you Regions Bank for your support and partnership!
We'd also like to extend our gratitude to the following supporters for their generous contributions to TSAHC's Housing Connection program, which provides technical assistance and training opportunities to nonprofit housing counselors and affordable housing developers.
