Developer
As of Feb 2026

Identify affected affordable housing projects

Applies if: You are preparing a competitive nine percent tax-credit application for a proposed Houston affordable rental development.

Context: Council adopted the affordable rental housing support resolution as amended on February 18, 2026, while four developments were separated and referred back by an adopted motion.

Recommended: Obtain the amended resolution, amendment text, and property list, then match your proposed development against the four projects that were separated and referred back. Do not assume City support covers your tax-credit application until that match is confirmed, because the final record does not identify which properties remained supported.

Investigate affordable housing project changes

Context: The matter appeared twice: it was tagged on February 10, 2026, then adopted as amended on February 18, with four developments referred back despite the unanimous final vote.

Recommended: Request the amendment text, property list, and rationale for separating four developments, then report which projects retained Council support and which did not. Without those records, the public cannot tell why an all-aye final action still sent four developments back for further handling.
