TDHCA Community Needs Survey
TDHCA Community Needs Surveys are conducted to provide TDHCA with a better understanding of housing and community service needs, issues, and problems at the local and regional levels. Survey data provides the Department with local and regional perspectives when considering programmatic changes.
Report on the 2006 Community Needs Survey (PDF)

In 1999, the 76th Legislature enacted Senate Bill 1112 (§2306.111, Government Code), which required TDHCA to develop and use a formula to regionally allocate its HOME, Housing Trust Fund (HTF), and Housing Tax Credit (HTC) program funding. The resulting Regional Allocation Formula (RAF) determines how this funding will be distributed among the 13 service regions used by TDHCA for planning purposes. The RAF methodology is described in the following document. The resulting program funding distributions are provided in the appendices.

• Appendix A:
  HTC RAF (PDF)

  HTF RAF (PDF)

The scoring criteria used to evaluate Housing Tax Credit (HTC), Housing Trust Fund (HTF), and HOME applications include an Affordable Housing Need Score (AHNS). The AHNS provides a comparative assessment of each county and place's level of need relative to other areas within the 13 Uniform State Service Regions TDHCA uses for planning purposes. Through the AHNS, applicants are encouraged to request funding to serve communities that have a high proportion of the region's affordable housing need.

Notes:

1) County scores are not generated for rental development activities. Development sites located outside the boundaries of a place (as designated by the U.S. Census) will utilize the score of the place whose boundary is closest to the development site.

2) To address legislative requirements, the HOME "Urban" and "Rural" place designations may vary slightly from the corresponding HTC designations. When a HOME application is made in conjunction with an HTC application, then the HTC place geographic designation shall apply.
