Governor Abbott announces $114 million in housing tax credits

Summary by The Waco Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Office of the Texas Governor, Waco Tribune-Herald · July 24, 2026 · 1 min read

Governor Abbott announces over $114 million in housing tax credits to support 70 rental properties and more than 4,400 affordable units across Texas.

Why this matters in The Waco

The allocation of over $114 million in housing tax credits to support affordable units across Texas has significant implications for Waco's own efforts to address housing affordability. With the city's growing population and increasing demand for housing, the need for affordable options has become a pressing concern. The tax credits, which will support 70 rental properties and more than 4,400 affordable units statewide, may lead to increased investment in Waco's own affordable housing initiatives. Local stakeholders will be watching to see how these funds are distributed and whether Waco will receive a significant share of the credits. The city's ability to attract and retain these funds will be crucial in addressing its own housing affordability challenges and ensuring that low-income residents have access to safe and affordable housing options.
