About Us
Build Communities. Build Dreams. Build Lives.
We listen. We believe. We understand that a home is more than a house or apartment. Home embraces communities, contentment, education, health.
At Avenue, we understand the importance of affordable homes, whether that means renting or buying, in neighborhoods that are safe, strong and connected.
Avenue is one of the oldest non-profit organizations in Houston, Texas dedicated to supporting people through attainable housing. We have invested more than $170 million in our communities, which includes building more than 240 single-family homes, 1,000 rental units, and over 200,000 square feet of commercial space.
We are committed to not just revitalizing neighborhoods but also improving people’s lives.
