As the Founder and Superintendent of Beta Academy, I wholeheartedly support the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program. It has been a game-changer for our campus expansion, generating $6.8 million toward a state-of-the-art facility that will serve hundreds of scholars in one of Houston’s most underserved communities. NMTCs make it possible for organizations like ours to build, grow, and serve more children with excellence—when traditional financing options fall short. This program directly fuels opportunity, equity, and impact where it’s needed most.
