ON THE AGENDAHouston City Council · 2026-02-10

The City Council was presented with a resolution to officially support plans to develop certain properties as affordable rental housing located just outside or on the limited-purpose annexation boundary of Houston, and to submit an application for competitive 9% Housing Tax Credits to help fund those developments. The item was tagged (temporarily held) by Council Members Thomas and Davis.

What it means for you

If approved, this resolution would signal the city's backing for affordable rental housing projects that could expand lower-cost rental options for Houston-area residents, funded in part through federal housing tax credits. The tag means no vote was taken at this meeting.

Outcome

Tagged (delayed under council rules) at the February 10, 2026 meeting; final vote at a later session.
