Our History
For decades, Brompton Community Housing Development Corporation (CHDO) has operated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the single mission to develop first-class community housing for low-income families in Texas. We are advised by a Board of Directors with direct housing experience — one-third of which is reserved for elected residents.
Our story begins alongside our collaboration with the Inter-Faith Group, which began in 1966 to provide housing and social services to seniors and families in Texas. To further its affordable housing mission, Brompton was independently formed in 1999 and focuses primarily on multifamily development and acquisitions in cities such as Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Houston.
Named after our first community in Houston, Brompton Square, our organization has a long history of collaboration and community advancement. What began with one property has grown to the development of nine communities that support the lives of thousands of residents.

What We Do
Development
Personal Development for Residents
In addition to creating housing that reflects market-value properties and offers valuable amenities, we engage with third-party service providers, management organizations and more once development is complete to continue fulfilling our mission of building communities that support and uplift residents. This, in turn, results in residents that positively impact their neighborhood, workplaces and families.

Affordable Housing Facts
A Harvard study cited by the Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers states that nearly half of Texas renters are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than one-third of their household income on housing costs. With housing costs rising much faster than income rates, this number is growing and includes people like our teachers, police officers, paramedics, senior citizens and more.
The Texas housing spectrum includes multiple levels, ranging from emergency shelters all the way to market home ownership. Affordable housing, sometimes called attainable or workforce housing, represents individuals earning between 30-80% of an area’s median family income (AMFI) and provides a stepping-off point for cost-burdened families and individuals. Community resources and supportive services help improve quality of life and increase opportunities for health and wellness, education and career advancement, financial stability and more.
