More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to certain occupancy preferences given by developments supported with a low income housing tax credit allocation’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
The bill amends the Government Code to allow developments supported by low income housing tax credits to give occupancy preference to school district employees and their households, provided all other legal occupancy requirements are met. It aims to encourage the creation and preservation of affordable rental housing for those struggling to find such housing and to prevent the loss of affordable units in Texas. The bill also seeks to involve both for-profit and nonprofit organizations in urban and rural affordable housing initiatives. The changes apply only to applications based on the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs' 2026 qualified allocation plan or later plans, and the bill takes effect Sept. 1, 2025.
