Texas Department of Housing & Community Affairs - Building Homes and Strengthening Communities

Cross Education Materials

Texas Housing and Services Resource Guide

The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), on behalf of the Housing and Health Services Coordination Council, contracted with CSH to coordinate a Housing and Services Partnership (HSP) Academy. The HSP Academy provided local community teams the tools and education necessary to create integrated, affordable, and accessible housing for persons with disabilities and older Texans. The HSP Academy provided a 1.5 day onsite training February 9-10, 2016 in Austin and teams received onsite and offsite technical assistance. In addition, teams were provided a copy of the Texas Housing and Services Resource Guide to assist in developing their own local resource guide for housing and services resources. To further the work of the Council in cross educating housing and services staff, the Resource Guide is now available to the public.
