For more than two decades, NeighborWorks America has been a cornerstone partner in Avenue’s work to advance housing stability as the foundation for thriving communities, investing over $18 million to support residents and neighborhoods across Greater Houston.

While NeighborWorks America’s funding strengthens all aspects of Avenue’s organization – from community engagement and resident services to real estate development and organizational capacity – it is grounded in a shared understanding that housing stability is the launchpad from which all opportunity flows. Stable homes create the conditions for better health outcomes, economic mobility, community connection, and long-term neighborhood resilience.

NeighborWorks America’s sustained investment has enabled Avenue to preserve and create affordable housing, support first-time and long-term homeowners, and pair housing with the services and engagement that help residents remain stably housed over time. This long-term partnership reflects a commitment not only to programs, but to the systems, infrastructure, and trust required to build lasting stability for families and communities.

We are deeply grateful for NeighborWorks America’s enduring partnership and leadership, and for their belief that housing stability is the starting point for stronger, healthier, and more equitable neighborhoods.
