History

The Own the HOU collaborative started in 2022 and aims to support 5,000 homebuyers and preserve 2,000 homes for existing homeowners by the end of 2026.

Together, our partnership of 11+ nonprofit organizations continues to support Houston area individuals and families to become homeowners through our collaborative work and supportive education and homeownership programs.

Own the HOU is made possible through a $7.5 million grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation through their Wealth Opportunities Realized Through Homeownership (WORTH) program. We are deeply grateful for Wells Fargo’s support for this collaborative effort. We also acknowledge and thank the many funders and partners who support the operations of our Own the HOU partner organizations.
