Offering Affordable Alternatives
Tarrant County Housing Partnership (TCHP) has worked since1991 to provide homeownership opportunities to low-to moderate-income families. TCHP’s programs span the spectrum of affordable housing needs from financing and homebuyer education, to free home modification for income qualified residents with disabilities. In addition to building and rehabilitating homes, TCHP also operates a number of low-rent apartment complexes and single family homes throughout the county.
Carmen Nava (right), single mother of two, purchased this 3 bedroom house for only $38,000 through TCHP’s lease-purchase program. This unique program helps potential low-income homebuyers who need time clean up their credit or save towards a downpayment. Program participants have between 12 and 18 months to purchase the house. A portion of each lease payment goes into a downpayment escrow account.
