"Bootstrap" Loan Program Helps Low-Income Texas Families Build Their Own Homes Article submitted by: John Hennebeger, TxLIHIS, john@texashousing.org (6/1/99). Topic: State housing issues The 76th Texas Legislature has passed landmark housing legislation that will help low-income Texans build their own homes with their own labor. The Texas Bootstrap Home Builder Loan Program (Senate Bill 1287) will provide low-interest home mortgage loans of up to $25,000 to poor Texas families who agree to "lift themselves up by their own bootstraps." The new law provides $5.6 million in low interest home mortgage loans of up to $25,000 to low-income Texas families who agree to help build their own home. Two-thirds of the funds will be used to help residents of impoverished border colonias and communities build new, better homes. The remaining one-third will be available statewide to low-income families. Funds for the initiative will come from the Texas Housing Trust Fund and other sources. The program will be administered through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs' (TDHCA's) Colonia Self-Help Centers and other nonprofit organizations across the state. "This is a home-grown Texas solution to the challenge low-income families face in getting a decent place to live," said John ,Henneberger, co-director of the non-profit Texas Low Income Housing Information Service, which helped draft the legislation. "The Bootstrap Program is a radical departure from traditional government housing programs and is a housing program based on opportunity and individual initiative."

89. Texas Responds: War Relief Package The texas Friends of Freedom program will have three interconnected and coordinated parts Adopta-Military Unit, Adopt-a-family and Adopt-a-Grandparent. http://www.window.state.tx.us/wrp/per01.html

From the Comptroller Texas Responds: War Relief Package November 2001 Personal Assistance 1 Recommendation Texas will support military families through Texas Friends of Freedom. Summary Texas needs this program because families of reservists are located across the state and not always near a military base of support. The reduced number of bases nationally means less support available nearby to military families that may need assistance. Additionally, military bases in Texas are hosts to families from across the nation, separated from their normal family support structure, and military families from Texas are located around the world. Program Description In Adopt-a-Family, community organizations will match volunteer families and individuals with families of soldiers and rescue workers. The volunteers will provide moral support and other assistance to families in Texas with spouses or parents stationed away from home or who have military reservists or rescue personnel called up for duty. Texas local community organizations, including faith-based community organizations, schools, hospitals, local officials and corporations, will work together to identify families, individuals and children in the community who would like to help. Military families will apply through their base, military family support group or the nearest Texas National Guard unit, or along with volunteer families, access the program through toll-free hotlines, a website, local community organizations or similar groups. These organizations will match the volunteer families with military families. Local organizations and state agencies will work together to recruit volunteers to help with the matching effort.

97. Texas Program For Science And Health Research Program Houston, texas has one of the highest Approximately 20 families with children who have asthma expected to participate in the program over a http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~txinsh/programs/new_beginnings.html

New Beginnings for Families and Children Having Asthma Objective: To elevate the trajectory of child development to successful adulthood among selected children with asthma from poor families through the provision of a combination of asthmatically safe homes and developmentally appropriate medical, health, and social services. Background: Substandard housing affects the health of children. Though this country has experienced a decade of economic prosperity, more and more families are unable to find affordable and safe housing. For approximately 10 million American families, housing is too expensive, substandard, or both. Every day pediatricians, teachers, and parents see the effects of inadequate housing on their patients, students, and children. While these caregivers observe troubling symptoms from asthma, lead poisoning or injuries, they may fail to connect these conditions to inadequate housing. When children have a chronic disease, they live in a precarious balance between sickness and health. Asthma is the most common chronic illness of childhood, causing thousands of U.S. children each year to lose valuable time from school, interfering with robust social development, and causing the deaths of thousands. Substandard housing with cockroaches, rats, mold, and inadequate heating contributes to the severity of this epidemic. Docs4Kids estimate that sensitization to cockroaches at home causes 9,995 excess hospitalizations each year for asthma among inner-city children ages 4-9 years. Substandard housing contributes to health problems in multiple ways.

Additionally, the agency has partnered to provide Child and Family Specialists who offer outreach services in Corsicana, Houston, Corpus Christi and Fort Worth. In collaboration with Marywood Children and Family Services and the Casey Family Program, PCH also provides a program in Austin for pregnant and parenting single mothers and their children called "Stepping Stones." Recognized as a certified teaching site for this program, PCS offers on-site and outreach training to organizations that wish to implement the Teaching-Family model. The agency also provides foster family services through its H.O.P.E. (Homes Offering Positive Experiences) program which supports foster families throughout North Central Texas and offers adoption services when parental rights have been terminated. A "Bridge House", located in Waxahachie offers a transitional living program for older children preparing to leave the foster group home setting. "Our two agencies have a long history of working together to serve children and families," said Chuck Mendenhall, president of PCH, "We have jointly operated an Advanced Education program designed to encourage children in the care of our agencies to plan for and pursue higher education and/or skills training. In addition, PCH, PCS and Westminster Presbyterian Church in Corsicana are partners in the Child and Family Program located in that community. The merger of our agencies is the logical next step to enable us to expand our ministry and serve more children and families."
