The RAF utilizes appropriate statistical data to measure the affordable housing need and available resources in the 13 State Service Regions that are used for planning purposes. The RAF also allocates funding to rural and urban subregions within each region. The Department has flexibility in determining variables to be used in the RAF, per Tex. Gov't Code Section 2306.1115(a)(3), "the department shall develop a formula that ... includes other factors determined by the department to be relevant to the equitable distribution of housing funds ..." The RAF is revised annually to reflect current data, respond to public comment, and better assess regional housing needs and available resources. 

The RAF methodology explains the use of factors, in keeping with the statutory requirements, which include the need for housing assistance, the availability of housing resources, and other factors relevant to the equitable distribution of housing funds in urban and rural areas of the state.

The public comment period for the Draft 2026 RAF methodology will be open from Friday, May 15, 2026, through Monday, June 15, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., Central Time. Anyone may submit comments on the Draft 2027 RAF Methodology in written form or oral testimony at the public hearing on June 2, 2026.
