The Ladder Project (26-268A)

Context: The DPFC 75-year lease and a $500 line-of-credit authority tied to nine 9% low-income housing tax credit applications were both calendared for February 11, 2026 City Council action after three consecutive Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee briefings.

Recommended: Now that the Dallas Public Facility Corporation 75-year lease for The Ladder Project has cleared committee and was scheduled for City Council authorization on February 11, verify whether the lease has been executed and what Texas Public Facility Corporation Act conditions must be satisfied before low-income housing tax credit financing can close.

Context: Laura Miller is named Chair of the applicant entity, and the project appeared three times before the Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee (January 26, February 3, February 10, 2026) before a scheduled February 11 City Council vote on the DPFC lease.

Recommended: Laura Miller chairs The Ladder Project under Congregation Shearith Israel, which sought a Dallas Public Facility Corporation 75-year lease and public housing credit support — request DPFC conflict-of-interest disclosures and any correspondence between the applicant and Council offices ahead of or after the February 11 vote.

Applies if: you represent tax credit investors or affordable housing developers with TDHCA applications in the current cycle

Context: The January 26, 2026 Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee agenda included a $500 line-of-credit authority tied specifically to nine 9% low-income housing tax credit applications filed with the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.

Recommended: If you represent affordable housing investors or tax credit syndicators, The Ladder Project submitted nine 9% low-income housing tax credit applications to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs — confirm which applications are still active in the competitive scoring cycle and whether the Dallas City Council's February 11 authorization has been transmitted as a required local support document.
