In 1999, the 76th Legislature enacted Senate Bill 1112 (§2306.111, Government Code), which required TDHCA to develop and use a formula to regionally allocate its HOME, Housing Trust Fund (HTF), and Housing Tax Credit (HTC) program funding. The resulting Regional Allocation Formula (RAF) determines how this funding will be distributed among the urban and rural areas of the 13 service regions used by TDHCA for planning purposes. The RAF methodology is described in the TDHCA Regional Allocation Formula Methodology. Example program funding distributions are provided following the TDHCA Regional Allocation Formula Methodology (provided in PDF format).
