Affordable Housing Options in Houston Just Got a Boost

New Hope Housing, a leader in providing affordable housing solutions, has announced that leasing applications are now being accepted for New Hope Housing Berry. The apartments, which opened in March, offer a range of amenities and resources for individuals and families with limited incomes.

What to Expect from New Hope Housing Berry

The community features 180 apartment homes, including one, two, and three-bedroom units, each equipped with modern amenities such as a full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, and energy-efficient appliances. These units are designed for residents earning 60% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), addressing the critical need for affordable housing in Houston.

Supporting the Community

The Houston Housing Authority is also supporting the expansion of affordable housing in the Greater Northside. According to Jamie Bryant, CEO of the Houston Housing Authority, "With a facility just across the street that offers job training, a community boutique, and a food pantry, we are deeply invested in creating opportunity-rich environments for residents. New Hope Housing Berry builds on that momentum, strengthening the neighborhood and ensuring families have access to the resources they need to thrive."

Education and Family-Centric Amenities

The community will also welcome a tuition-free Bezos Academy preschool in mid-2026, offering Montessori-inspired education to Berry residents and local families. This preschool complements the family-centric amenities available at Berry, including a splash pad, playground, dog park, and fitness center.

Partnerships and Funding

The development was made possible through partnerships with the Houston Housing Authority, Garcia + Associates Architects, GSMA Architects, and Camden Builders. Amegy Bank provided interim and permanent financing; Comerica Bank offered interim financing; and National Equity Fund served as the LIHTC syndicator, with housing tax credit equity allocated by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.

Conclusion

New Hope Housing Berry is a significant step forward in addressing the need for affordable housing in Houston. With its range of amenities, resources, and education opportunities, it has the potential to make a real difference in the lives of individuals and families.
