Houston's Harris County Affordable Homes Initiative aimed to increase access to affordable housing for low and moderate-income residents. It involved collaborative efforts between the city of Houston and Harris County and focused on the following strategies:
1. Affordable Housing Development: Supporting the construction of new affordable housing units and preserving or rehabilitating existing ones through partnerships with developers, non-profit organizations, and housing agencies.
2. Down Payment Assistance: Providing down payment assistance programs to help potential homebuyers with limited financial resources, making homeownership more attainable.
