Housing Solutions
Housing Solutions is our initiative to help communities close the gaps that prevent families from finding stable housing. By combining research, innovation, and on-the-ground partnerships, we support local efforts to expand access to affordable housing, strengthen services, and create lasting pathways out of homelessness. Our approach is centered on collaboration—working with agencies, providers, and community leaders to ensure every person has a safe, stable place to call home.
Our team is piloting two projects to support this initiative in the following regions: Hidalgo, Laredo, Sherman, Texarkana, and Victoria.

Innovation Fund
Texas Homeless Network (THN) is excited to launch the Housing Solutions Initiative: Innovation Fund, a new grant opportunity designed to help local agencies support families facing homelessness in Texas’ Balance of State.
What this fund does:
- Provides private, flexible dollars to quickly meet family needs that other funding sources can’t cover.
- Helps families avoid or exit homelessness by covering urgent costs like rental arrears, landlord incentives, moving expenses, application fees, utility payments, or document replacement.
- Prioritizes families with young children (ages 0–5), recognizing the profound impact housing instability has on child development.
Family Trust Partnership
Texas Homeless Network (THN) seeks proposals from qualified organizations to partner with the THN Housing Solutions team to support local families being served by the Family Trust initiative. The objective of this partnership is to bolster the investments THN will be making to families in the area by offering support services and collaborative case conferencing. The partnering agency will receive a $45,000 grant of Innovation Funds to further their agency goals.
Partnership Focus:
- Support local families: Break homelessness at its roots by funding their journey to stability.
- Secure brighter futures: Ensure children grow, thrive, and break free from the lasting impact of homelessness.
Family-first focus: little ones first (ages 0–5), then families with older children, then all family structures.
