The TDHCA administers the state’s 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 (including the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction) 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:

 

  • The Arboretum at Woodland Hills - low poverty concentration
  • Chisolm Trail Apartments - preservation of affordable housing
  • Willow Creek Manor - low poverty concentration

 

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