The TDHCA administers the state’s housing tax credit program, which provides federal tax credits to spur the development of quality, affordable housing.

 

In order to apply for the 4% tax credits, the developer must present a Resolution of No Objection from the governing body of the jurisdiction in which the development is located.

 

 

 

The multifamily developments listed above were selected for funding through HCDD’s Harvey Multifamily Program. Upon successful completion of the underwriting process, HCDD intends to provide gap funding in support of each development.
