WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
TDHCA administers the highly competitive program by using a scoring system. This scoring system drives the location of the housing developments.
The scoring system also requires a successful application to receive a resolution of local support and de-minimus funding and a letter of support from a State Representative. Without either, the application will essentially die due to lack of points.
The map on the adjacent page depicts the location of OPG’s two 2016 applications. A variety of scoring factors such as proximity to at least 6 specific services within 1.5 miles as well as the poverty % of the census tract, (lower pov% is a tie-breaker) will determine the winning application between the applicants.
