TX GLO Celebrates Completion of Two Affordable Rental Housing Complexes in Hitchcock and Danbury
![DANBURY](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/TXGLO/2022/02/5573599/3977195/danbury_crop.png) On Wednesday, February 23, the Texas General Land Office disaster recovery team celebrated the completion of two multifamily housing complexes in Hitchcock and Danbury to replace affordable rental housing damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Harvey. The GLO awarded $1,967,198 to rebuild Delany Court (formerly Enchanted Oaks), a 40-unit affordable rental complex. In addition, the GLO awarded to $2,389,324 to rebuild Danbury Manor, a 48-unit multifamily community. One hundred percent of these units are dedicated for low-to-moderate-income residents.
![HITCHCOCK](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/TXGLO/2022/02/5573640/3977196/hitchcock_crop.png) The Texas General Land Office (GLO) has undertaken very impressive efforts using $588 million in Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds to help rehabilitate, reconstruct and construct 80 multifamily rental housing damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Harvey in 48 eligible counties outside of the city of Houston and Harris County, which requested and were granted direct allocations of funds from HUD to conduct housing programs.
In total, 6,000 rental homes are being rebuilt or newly constructed to replenish affordable workforce housing. Of the multifamily affordable housing units being rebuilt by the GLO, nearly 80% are guaranteed to house low-to moderate-income residents for 20 years after completion of new construction and 15 years after completion of repairs.
In this program, applicants for the funding are required to designate at least 51% of the units for low- to moderate-income families with rents capped at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Home Investment Partnership (HOME) limits. Per HUD guidelines, a family is considered low- to moderate-income if they earn 80% or less than the Area Median Family Income (AMFI). Each apartment complex will be restricted for low income housing for 20 years after completion of new construction and 15 years after completion of repairs.
