Houston LAMA Lunch | Defining Public Benefit: The Real Impact of Tax-Exempt Affordable Housing in Houston
Houston sits at the center of the ongoing debate over tax exemptions for affordable housing. As policymakers re-examine Chapter 392 and related structures, the industry must clearly articulate what “public benefit” truly means. Is it limited to reduced rent — or does it encompass broader economic, social, and community impacts?
This panel will bring together housing authority leaders, HFC representatives, local officials, and industry professionals to explore the full spectrum of public benefit created by affordable housing developments and to develop clear, actionable talking points for engaging policymakers and stakeholders.
Hosted by TAAHP’s Houston Local & Municipal Affairs (LAMA) group, and with thanks to our event sponsors:
