The Housing Corporation of Greater
Houston The Non-Profit Housing Corporation of
Greater Houston, formerly called Houston Housing Development Corporation, was
formed in 1968 as a private 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving
housing conditions and conserving neighborhoods. The Housing Corporation was
formed with the intention of being a catalyst between the private and public sectors
in order to stimulate the improvement of housing in the Houston area. To

developments. Since its establishment in 1968, The Housing Corporation has
assisted directly in the construction and rehabilitation of over 8,000 homes for
the low income Houstonians. It also has taken a leadership role in the community
by seeking to increase awareness of housing needs and promoting housing programs
