ACT Spotlight:
Crockett Estates
in Alamo, Texas
|
Crockett Estates (see
flyer) is a subdivision in Alamo, Texas that features single-family homes in close
 proximity to major highways, a high-performing school and employ
ment centers in Weslaco and McAllen. AHSTI is developing single-family homes in the subdivision that are affordable for households earning up to 80% of the Area Median Income.
Prices start at $79,100 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house. The homes are on lots that TSAHC acquired through NSP, a program created to stabilize communities dealing with high
 rates of foreclosure. TSAHC purchased the lots at a reduced price, partnered with AHSTI through the ACT program, and collectively we pass on savings to home buyers.
To date, AHSTI has sold three homes (like the one pictured right) in Crockett Estates, and more are either for sale or under construction.
