Separately, Gov. Greg Abbott announced more than $114 million in housing tax credits aimed at expanding reduced-rent housing options statewide.
Abbott said the tax credits will help finance the development or rehabilitation of 70 rental properties across Texas, supporting the construction or rehabilitation of more than 4,400 affordable housing rental units.
The governor’s office said President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act provided a 12% increase to the federal tax credit ceiling, which helped push TDHCA’s allocation to the largest in the agency’s history.
A list of 2026 application awards is available on the TDHCA website.
