A Mutual Interest

Community for Permanent Supported Housing is seeking partnerships to increase the availability of affordable housing and our workshops for people with disabilities and their families.

From “Housing Needed For North Texans With Disabilities: Build It and They Will Come” 8/27/21

"The economic climate is ripe for investing in affordable and workforce residential options. Socially responsible housing, supported by investments from public-private partnerships, can meet societal and business goals, providing ROI. Let’s take another look at North Texas and build social value into real estate investments so they are equitable for citizens including those below 50% of the AMI. More affordable housing options are needed so they can reach their highest abilities, and in return prosperity and peace will be abundant.” - Robin LeoGrande, President/Founder, CPSH
