Review draft Dallas housing program statement changes
Applies if: Developer with a pipeline project using Dallas Housing Finance Corporation, Dallas Public Facility Corporation, or Housing Tax Credit financing
Why now: The Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee received a single informational briefing on March 31, 2026 (Case 26-1163A) covering all three program statements; no adoption date has been set, meaning criteria are still in draft and subject to change.
What to do: Pull the March 31 briefing materials from the Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee and compare the proposed Dallas Housing Finance Corporation and Dallas Public Facility Corporation program statement language against your current deal underwriting — changes to eligibility thresholds, affordability period lengths, or fee structures could affect whether a pipeline project still qualifies before the catalog is adopted.
Act before: After Dallas Housing Resource Catalog amendments are adopted
Investigate why Dallas housing catalog update is site-specific
Why now: Case 26-1163A is classified as 'site_specific' in scope but the March 31 briefing covered program statements for three citywide financing mechanisms (Dallas Housing Finance Corporation, Dallas Public Facility Corporation, and Housing Tax Credits), which is anomalous for a site-specific filing.
What to do: Request the staff briefing document from the March 31 Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee meeting and ask the City what project or site prompted simultaneous amendments to three major housing finance program statements — if a specific deal is driving a catalog-wide policy revision, that is a story.
Act before: After records request response (typically 10 business days)
Meet Dallas Housing Committee members before catalog vote
Why now: As of April 7, 2026, Case 26-1163A has had only one committee appearance (March 31 briefing) with no follow-up hearing scheduled, leaving program statement language openly revisable.
What to do: Request meetings with Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee members now to shape the draft program statement language for the Dallas Housing Finance Corporation, Dallas Public Facility Corporation, and Housing Tax Credit programs — once the committee schedules a vote, revision windows typically close and staff language becomes the floor.
Act before: After Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee schedules a vote on the catalog amendments
