Houston Affordable Housing Plan, updated in 2025, commits the city to building or preserving 37,000 units of affordable housing by 2030. The plan uses federal HOME funds, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and city-owned land to support affordable development. New units are concentrated in neighborhoods with strong transit access and economic opportunity. Community land trusts, tenant protections, and anti-displacement strategies are part of the framework, though advocates say enforcement and timeline accountability remain areas for improvement.
The city is investing in building and preserving affordable homes across Houston. The plan targets neighborhoods where housing costs are rising fastest and families are being pushed out.
