The following criteria applies to the programs, resources and organizations listed in Help for Texans only.

TDHCA assistance and funds go to local provider organizations, NOT individuals directly.
TDHCA does not accept applications from individuals.
This page will take you through a process to provide you contact information for those providers for your area.
Providers listed may be at capacity with their funds, and may not be able to assist all who call them.
If no provider is available, check with your local city or county about available assistance resources.
If you have a question about one of our programs or you have an inquiry regarding a TDHCA monitored property, please visit http://www.tdhca.state.tx.us/overview.htm or contact us at info@tdhca.state.tx.us.
