RESOLUTION confirming No Objection to proposed development of certain properties as Affordable Rental Housing, each located in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of City of Houston, Texas, or having been annexed into the City of Houston only for limited purposes, and the submittal of applications for Non-Competitive 4% Housing Tax Credits for such development 

The Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) recommends Council approve a Resolution of No Objection for an applicant seeking 4% Housing Tax Credits (HTCs) for the following multifamily development:

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 (including the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction).

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

• Zoned schools have met standards
• Not located in 100-year flood plain
• Poverty concentration below 25%

A public hearing on this Resolution was held on October 30, 2024.

This item was reviewed by the Housing and Affordability Committee on October 15, 2024.
