In the development of the 2016 Draft Qualified Allocation Plan and Uniform Multifamily Rules, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs staff is seeking input through an Online Forum for discussion on specific scoring items and/or other topics related to its multifamily funding activities.  The Forum includes some preliminary ideas on proposed changes and corresponding language intended to generate discussion that could be beneficial as staff continues to evolve the QAP and Rules.  Staff has posted some additional topics with respect to QAP scoring items as well as requirements identified in Chapter 10 Subchapter B relating to Site and Development Requirements and Restrictions.  The 2016 QAP and Uniform Multifamily Rules Discussion Forum can be accessed using the following link: http://www.tdhca.state.tx.us/multifamily/nofas-rules.htm.
