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:

 

  • Lafayette Village – preservation of affordable housing
  • Idlewilde Apartments – preservation of affordable housing

 

HCD recommends a Motion to hold a public hearing on October 15, 2025, on the 4% tax credit Resolution of No Objection.

 

The Housing and Affordability Committee reviewed this item on September 16, 2025.
