Multifamily Direct Loan Program
General Information
The Multifamily Direct Loan Program provides funding to nonprofit and for-profit entities for the new construction or rehabilitation of affordable multifamily rental developments. Funding is typically provided in the form of low interest rate, repayable construction-to-permanent loans. Multifamily developments funded through the Department’s Multifamily Direct Loan Program must comply with long-term rent and income restrictions and may be layered with additional funding sources (such as Housing Tax Credits). For more information, visit the FAQs page.
TDHCA is in the process of drafting Multifamily Direct Loan Rules that are proposed to be located in 10 TAC Chapter 13. The Draft 2017 Multifamily Direct Loan Rules linked above is a staff draft that may be revised over the coming weeks, prior to presentation of a Draft 10 TAC Chapter 13 at the October 13, 2016, Board meeting.
The online forum where interested stakeholders can comment on the proposed 2017 Multifamily Direct Loan Rules is located here: https://tdhca.websitetoolbox.com/?forum=549213
