A private builder is proposing to build low income apartment complexes in the middle of Hutto, in
the Hutto Town Square neighborhood.
The builder is applying for tax credits from the
Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs Multifamily Division under the Housing Tax Credit
(HTC) program. The tax credit application can be viewed here:
Project 08192
Tax credits are awarded to these private builders based on a points system. In 2008, 111 different builders applied for tax credits in the state of Texas, and not all of them will be approved. The projects with the most points on April 8th get approved and the projects with the lowest number of points get denied. Points are subtracted by the housing authority if they receive letters and petitions about the project. Points are also subtracted if citizens show up at the April 8 meeting.
We have until the end of March to generate the most negative points against this project.
We need your help! You can:

PO Box 13941

The letter must include the following: Your name, address, the project ID ("08192 The Enclave Apartments"), a statement that indicates your disapproval of the project, and your signature.
