TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS
Education | Supportive Services | Economic Development | Criminal Justice | Environment

The Arts Respond Project supplies project-based funding to arts organizations throughout the state. Funding supports a range of priority areas, including education, health and human services, economic development, public safety and criminal justice, and natural resources and agriculture. While creative placemaking can be supported through all of these program areas, providing assistance to populations living in affordable housing directly relates to positive health, economic development, and criminal justice outcomes.

TEXAS STATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING CORPORATION
Housing | Affordable Housing | Supportive Services

The Texas Foundation Fund provides financial support to non profit organizations that serve low-income, disabled households by assisting with home repairs, accessibility modifications, and supportive services (case management, mental health counseling, job training). Home improvement projects must be allocated to owner-occupied structures. Supportive services also include reducing the risk of homelessness for these populations, so creating spaces where recently housed individuals feel a sense of ownership and home is important.
