The TDHCA administers the State of Texas’ Housing Tax Credit program, which provides federal tax credits to spur the development of quality, affordable housing.

 

Per Texas Government Code Section 2306-67071, the governing body of the jurisdiction where a project is to be located must “hold a hearing …to solicit public input concerning the Application or Development” before a developer can submit an application for non-competitive 4% tax credits.

 

HCD has performed a threshold review and recommends a Resolution of No Objection for the following reasons:

 

  • Cordova Apartments is located in TIRZ 8 - Gulfgate
  • New Hope Housing Avenue C is located in Magnolia Park – Manchester Complete Community

 

HCD recommends a Motion to hold a public hearing on April 10, 2024, on the 4% tax credit Resolution of No Objection.
