Housing Tax Credit Resolution
Request Guidelines

One of the goals of the Harris County Consolidated Plan and Fair Housing Assessment, approved by Harris County Commissioners Court and submitted to U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, is the promotion and preservation of quality affordable housing in Harris County. The county seeks to meet this goal by building and improving affordable multi-family housing rental units and by supporting quality projects as they apply for Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) housing financing programs. Harris County will pursue a balanced approach to investing and supporting multi-family housing rental projects in both high opportunity areas, as well as in revitalization areas that may be located near buyout interest areas or areas of severe disaster impact as a means of improving and preserving community stability.

TDHCA provides guidance through their Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) on the number of points for resolutions of Support or No-Objection for multi-family housing rental projects from a local jurisdiction, where the project is located.
