Submit low-income housing tax credit application to Texas housing agency before state deadline

Context: City Council passed this resolution of support on February 11, 2026, as one of eight approved LIHTC applications at that meeting, giving the applicant a state-required local endorsement.

Recommended: If you are the developer on this approved application, your Dallas City Council resolution of support is now in hand — submit your 9% Competitive Low Income Housing Tax Credit application to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) before the next competitive cycle closes, as the Council resolution is a required supporting document.

Request records explaining why Big Cedar housing project was the only affordable housing application denied

Context: The Cottages at Big Cedar low-income housing tax credit resolution was the sole denial among nine 9% Competitive items at the February 11, 2026 Dallas City Council meeting, while eight comparable applications were approved.

Recommended: File a public information request for the staff recommendation memo, applicant materials, and any Council member statements for the Cottages at Big Cedar resolution — the only denial among nine nearly identical affordable housing tax credit applications considered at the same meeting, with no public explanation in the available record.
