The Texas Housing Trust Fund was established in 1991 by the 72nd Legislature, Senate Bill 546, to create affordable housing for low- and very low-income individuals and families. It is the only State-authorized source of funding for affordable housing programs. Funding sources consist of appropriations or transfers made to the fund, unencumbered fund balances, and public or private gifts or grants. The Department's Texas Housing Trust Fund Plan details the strategy for expending the appropriations or transfers.
During the Regular Session of the 89th Legislature, the Department was appropriated funding, including loan proceeds and general revenue, for the Texas Housing Trust Fund in the amount of $10,058,675 for the 2026-2027 Biennium.
