Program Details/Overview
The Single Family Development (SFD) Program is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME Program or HOME). SFD provides funds for the new construction or rehabilitation of affordable single family homes. Single family homes built or rehabilitated with the assistance of HOME funds must comply with required income restrictions and follow certain design requirements. Homes must be sold to lower income homebuyers after completion of construction. TDHCA provides permanent financing to qualified households if needed.
Nonprofit Organizations applying for single family development funds must apply for certification as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), and CHDO Certification is provided by TDHCA only in conjunction with a HOME contract or agreement. A CHDO is a private nonprofit organization with a 501 (c) designation which meets all the requirements of 24 CFR 92.2. More information about CHDOs is available on HUD’s website at https://www.hudexchange.info/.
Programs
TDHCA contracts with units of general local governments, public housing authorities, local mental health authorities, and nonprofit entities that provide affordable housing to lower income families in their local communities. Applicants must be familiar with Program rules and Regulations.
