Strong Assets. Stronger Impact.

At the heart of Houston Missional Real Estate Fund is a disciplined approach to redemptive real estate—using residential real estate to generate sustainable financial returns while creating meaningful, long-term impact.

HMREF invites values-driven investors to align their capital with housing solutions that support faith-rooted organizations serving Houston’s most vulnerable populations.

Our investment philosophy prioritizes stewardship, stability, and partnership over maximizing short-term returns. By focusing on long-term housing needs and conservative financial practices, we aim to produce durable outcomes for investors, ministries, and communities alike.
