Across
Texas, employers locate in specific geographic areas to take advantage of regional
resources, such as transportation, port access and specialized labor forces.
Finding adequate housing in these communities can be a tremendous challenge.
The Work Force Housing Partnership was developed by Tekoa Partners, Ltd., in
order to attract capital for housing by allowing major employers to participate
as equity investors in housing developments for the communities where they are
located. Investments made by employers attract additional resources from equity
investors and lenders, who see their risks as significantly reduced. By joining
Work Force Partnerships, employers demonstrate their long-term commitment to
the region and benefit on two fronts - improving employee recruitment and retention
by offering quality, affordable housing; and receiving attractive returns on
their invested capital.
