Income and Rent Limits in TDHCA-Supported Properties

The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (“TDHCA”) helps housing developers build more reduced rent apartments in Texas. TDHCA mostly does this through federal programs that support the development of certain apartments. These apartments are called program units.

  • The federal programs have certain rules.
  • The federal rules say how income and rent limits are set.

Below is a general explanation of how income and rent limits are set for TDHCA-supported properties.

  • TDHCA does not own or manage properties.
  • TDHCA-properties do not help you pay your rent.
  • See your property manager or owner if you have questions about your rent or income and rent limits.
