WHAT WE DO

Avenue is a non-profit organziation driven by a simple goal: to revitalize Houston, one neighborhood at a time. At its heart is a simple promise: to advance opportunity for everyone by building more affordable homes, creating clear paths to homeownership, and helping our neighbors build healthy, connected communities.

HOMEOWNERSHIP CENTER
Take a Homebuyer Class

Everyone deserves a home to call their own. Our Homeownership team walks alongside families, turning the dream of homeownership into reality. We offer free homebuyer education, counseling, and post-purchase support.

COMMUNITY INITIATIVES
Get Involved

The strongest neighborhoods are built by the people who live in them. That’s why we empower residents to become leaders, organizing together to make our streets safer, our parks more beautiful, and our communities healthier and more vibrant. Together, we’re not just improving neighborhoods, we’re building a movement.

AFFORDABLE HOMES
View Our Communities

Home is so much more than four walls. It’s the foundation for a thriving life. Across Houston, we create warm, high-quality affordable single family-homes and rental communities where families can truly settle in.

RESIDENT SERVICES

“This is MY home. It’s the first time that I was able to make a purchase like this on my own without help or assistance from anyone. The satisfaction that comes from opening my garage door and pull in is amazing! There is no better feeling than coming home each day to something that I know that is mine.”

—Maria Buslovich

“Sit down, write your goals down, stick with them and get something that you and your family can grow in. Thank you to Avenue CDC for all the help. Amazing program! Go get a home yourself!”

—Rogbe Stokes

“I would like everyone to know who doesn’t have a home that this dream can be true! YES. Everyone should know about this program, how easily you can become a homeowner with the great help of Avenue. Just set the goal and make it happen!”
