Tax Credit (HTC). TDHCA's 2014 QAP and Section 2306.6710 of the Texas Government Code state that
applications may qualify for up to 17 points if they include a resolution of support from the governing body
of the jurisdiction in which the proposed development site is located. Resolutions that state that the
jurisdiction supports the proposed development are worth maximum points while resolutions stating that
the jurisdiction has no objection to the proposed development are worth fewer points.
Staff recommends the following policy for providing HTC resolutions:
