Program Summary

TSAHC serves low-income Texans by providing financing through our Private Activity Bond (PAB) program to construct or preserve affordable rental housing. TSAHC receives 10% of the State's multifamily PAB volume cap annually and issues these bonds through a competitive request for proposals process. Our multifamily bonds may only be used to support projects that fulfill one of the four targeted housing needs listed below.

  1. At-Risk Preservation and Rehabilitation
  2. Rural and Smaller Urban Markets
  3. Senior and Supportive Housing Developments
  4. Disaster Relief Housing

The current request for proposals and application materials are available through the links below. Please contact David Danenfelzer, at ddanenfelzer@tsahc.org or 512-477-3562 with any questions.

Application for PAB & 501c3 Bonds (word)

Because the PAB program is so closely linked to the 4% Housing Tax Credit program, we recommend that developers review the latest information and application materials from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs’ (TDHCA) Multifamily Program Division. Developers should consult directly with TDHCA about the housing tax credit program.

 

Program History

TSAHC’s Multifamily PAB program was established in 2004 and has since issued more than $104 million in bonds. These properties offer over 2,900 units of affordable rental housing located in more than 19 cities across Texas, including nearly 500 units in rural and smaller urban areas.  TSAHC is proud of its ability to offer a flexible alternative to multifamily bond finance in Texas.  Check out some of our properties on the map below.
