About this listen

The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs 9% LIHTC application deadline is February 27, 2026 — less than two weeks away.

Texas Market Overview:

  • One of largest LIHTC allocations in the nation
  • 2026 QAP reflects 12% permanent credit increase under OBBBA
  • Remains one of most competitive LIHTC markets

Application Requirements:

  • Specific scoring criteria for location, tenant populations, experience
  • Local support resolutions required
  • Market studies and environmental assessments must be complete
  • Regional allocation formula ensures geographic diversity

Alternative Paths:

  • Texas implementing 25% bond threshold for 4% deals
  • Bond-financed projects don't compete for limited 9% ceiling
  • Consider 4% if 9% scoring is borderline

TAAHP Priorities:

  • Expanding tax-exempt bonds and credits
  • 89th Texas legislative session advocacy
