Hope Tree Home Loans Hope Tree Home Loans, a Houston-based mortgage firm, has launched a new program that will enable you to help Avondale House in the educational and developmental needs of those with autism. Through its new initiative, when you get any type of home loan from Hope Tree, they will make a donation in your name to Avondale. The donation will be calculated as a percentage of the principal amount of your loan. For example, a $200,000 mortgage would result in a contribution of $500 to Avondale House.
