THE FOUR WALLS APPROACH
More than a roof.
A foundation for life.
Housing stability takes a community. Our proposed statewide initiative brings prevention, housing access, and ongoing support into one practical plan.
01 / PREVENT
Keep people housed.
Targeted assistance and early intervention before a housing crisis becomes homelessness.
02 / CONNECT
Open the next door.
Work with local providers and landlords to help people move into stable homes.
03 / SUPPORT
Make stability last.
Connect housing with the care, benefits, and support each household needs.

02 / OFFER HOUSING
Your property.
Someone’s fresh start.
Landlords and property owners can be part of a local solution. Prepare a housing offer to discuss with a regional housing provider.
↗ Share the homes you have available
↗ Discuss leasing and support with a local provider
↗ Help create a pathway to long-term stability
Create a downloadable brief. No listing is submitted or published.
What happens after I prepare an offer?
Download your property brief, then contact a housing provider through Help for Texans. Discuss availability, inspections, tenant screening, lease terms, and any program assistance directly with that provider. Participation and funding are not guaranteed.
Do I have to donate my property?
No. The proposed approach includes ordinary rental homes. A local provider can explain potential leasing arrangements and whether rental assistance or tenant support is available.
03 / FUND HOUSING STABILITY
Small steps.
Stronger foundations.
A proposed $3 million pilot would help three regions test a practical approach to preventing homelessness and opening doors.

04 / SEE RESULTS
Accountability,
from the beginning.
Real progress means people finding a home and staying housed. We’ll measure both, with clear definitions and public reporting.
PROPOSED TARGETS · TO BE VALIDATED WITH REGIONAL PARTNERS
Unsheltered homelessness
More people moving from outdoor settings into homes.
12-month housing retention
Among housed participants with a completed follow-up period.
Additional goals: 20% fewer recorded first-time entries and a 30% reduction in median time from enrollment to permanent housing by December 2029. These figures are goals, not achieved results.
PRE-LAUNCH
The work starts with a strong foundation.
No verified service outcomes or fundraising totals have been published. Baselines, funding, and regional agreements remain to be established.
- First 30 daysConfirm organization, leadership, and prospective regions.
- Days 31–60Establish provider agreements, safeguards, and landlord pathways.
- Days 61–90Validate costs and baselines, secure launch funds, and open referrals.
Timing begins when the initiative formally launches. Milestones shown are planned, not completed.
How will progress be measured?
Use consistent regional point-in-time counts alongside year-round service data. Track verified move-ins, housing retention, returns to homelessness, time to housing, and cost. Deduplicate participating households and publish data coverage and missing follow-up. Outreach contacts and shelter stays are separate measures. Changes in count methods will be disclosed.
