Examine the powers, functions and programs administered by the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and the Texas State
Affordable Housing Corporation (TSAHC). The committee's report will assess
the methodology used in allocating the various housing funds and resources,
including the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program and the Housing Trust
Fund, and the compliance by the agency with that methodology, and address

able housing demands of targeted population groups throughout the State of
Texas.
