Help Build Houston's Future
Through our Traditional Homebuyer Program, the Houston Land Bank sells lots to Approved Homebuilders at a discount from market prices. In exchange, the builder agrees to construct a quality affordable home to be sold to an income-eligible homebuyer at or below a capped price.

Who We Serve
We recognize that affordable housing is essential at every Area Median Income (AMI) level, ensuring that individuals and families across all economic backgrounds have access to safe, stable, and attainable homes. Our current affordable home programs serve residents at 120% AMI & below
Janet, SXG Capital Group LLC
We have completed dozens of homes under the HLB programs in Acres Home, Trinity Garden and Settagast area. All homes were sold to first time buyers. We were able to purchase the lots for very reasonable prices, therefore all homes we built were sold under market value.
MELVIN, MH BUILDER-HOUSTON, LLC
One of our proudest moments was helping a single mom purchase her first home through MH Builder–Houston. She not only gained the stability and pride of homeownership, but after living there as required, she built enough equity to sell and reinvest in a new home that fit her growing needs. Her first home with us opened the door to greater opportunities for her and her family.

Affordable Housing Impact
Through a catalog of pre-approved home plans, the initiative promotes development on small lots in historically disinvested neighborhoods. It provides energy-efficient homes for low-to-moderate-income families, preventing displacement and revitalizing areas.
Finding Home enhances access to affordable mortgages and down payment assistance, enabling sustainable homeownership and generational wealth. Builders receive financial incentives and support, simplifying the development process. Collaborating with Fannie Mae and the Houston Community Land Trust, the initiative ensures permanent affordability, benefiting future buyers and empowering local builders while revitalizing underserved communities.
