New Homes for OST / South Union
City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department
Mixed-income development of 80 new single-family homes, including 57 affordable homes, in Houston's OST / South Union neighborhood.
How to get help
Use the application linked from the official project page and review Agape's additional developer requirements. Buyers purchase directly through the developer; the City performs income eligibility reviews for attainable-rate homes. An application does not guarantee eligibility, financing, a specific home, price, or availability.
Who this service helps
The project page states that the homes are restricted to homeowners at 70% to 100% of area median income, while its developer section says Agape aims to serve families below 80% AMI. Under the City's Affordable Home Development Program, attainable-rate buyers must secure a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, complete an eight-hour HUD-certified homebuyer education course, and pass the City's income review. Developer-specific rules may also apply.

Cost / fees
The public page does not list current sales prices. The City states that its investment reduces attainable-home prices relative to market rate. Attainable homes carry a five-year City secondary lien that is forgiven at the end of that period; the developer may impose a longer lien.
