  1. Location of Project
    • The residential development must be located entirely within Travis County.
    • Strategic HFC will consider the proposed location’s need for affordable housing and access to neighborhood services.
    • Strategic HFC will consider its own risk and concentration of affordable projects in the area.
  2. Unit Mix & Distribution of Affordability
    • Affordable units must be proportionally distributed among unit types.
    • At least 90% of the units must be affordable to those earning up to 120% of Area Median Income.*
