FISCAL NOTE, 88TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION

April 17, 2023

TO:	Honorable J. M. Lozano, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs
FROM:	Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	HB1917 by Walle (Relating to the establishment and implementation by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs of the Texas Tenant Readiness and Landlord Incentive Pilot Program.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Government Code to establish the Texas Tenant Readiness and Landlord Incentive Pilot Program. This estimate assumes duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.

Based on the analysis of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), the estimated amount necessary to fully fund the grant program would be $4,435,200 in General Revenue each year to cover an estimated 1,152 subrecipient grants; however, the total amount of grant funding provided would be subject to the will of the Legislature. 

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
