quality affordable housing in Harris County. The county seeks to meet this goal by building and improving affordable multi-family rental housing units and 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 in investing and supporting multi-family 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 Non-Objection for multi-family rental projects from a local jurisdiction, where the project is located. For more information on the QAP, please see website at
www.tdhca.state.tx.us/multifamily/nofas-rules.htm. The following are the guidelines developed by the Harris County Community Services Department (HCCSD) and approved by the Harris County Commissioners Court for the recommendations of projects for court resolution of Support or Non-Objection.
