TDHCA has announced a 30-day public comment period for the draft 2025-2029 State of Texas Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan or the Plan), beginning Monday, May 19, 2025. The public comment period will run through Tuesday, June 17, 2025. During the 30-day period, TDHCA will also host four public hearings to accept public comment on the Plan. Each of these hearings has a separate listing on this calendar.

TDHCA, the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) prepared the draft 2025-2029 State of Texas Consolidated Plan in accordance with 24 CFR Section 91 Subpart D. TDHCA coordinates the preparation of the Plan's documents. The Plan covers the state's administration of the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) by TDA, the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA) by DSHS, and the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, and the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) by TDHCA.

The Plan analyzes the housing needs in the State of Texas, as well as, how the market is currently fulfilling those needs. The Consolidated Plan illustrates the state's strategies in addressing the priority needs and specific goals and objectives that the state aims to accomplish throughout the 2025-2029 Plan. In addition, the Consolidated Plan states the intended uses of funds from HUD for the 2025 Program Year. The Program Year begins on September 1, 2025, and ends on August 31, 2026, and then repeats for each year of the Plan thereafter. 

The draft Plan may be accessed from TDHCA's Public Comment web page at https://www.tdhca.texas.gov/tdhca-public-comment-center.  

The 30-day public comment period for the Plan will be open from Monday, May 19, 2025, through Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
