Housing Finance Corporation Meeting: September 1st, 2026.

The Tarrant County Housing Finance Corporation held a meeting on September 1, 2026, primarily to consider and approve an agreement with Tarrant County for the fiscal year 2027 rent and utility assistance program. The agreement covers an annual term from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with a budget allocation of approximately $2.8 million. Discussion focused on the Housing Finance Corporation's financial role amid county budget constraints, including questions about the corporation's fund balance, which was later clarified to be approximately $6.34 million as of July 30, 2026. The meeting addressed concerns about the use of Housing Finance Corporation funds to temporarily support emergency rental and utility assistance, with the expectation that funding would eventually return to the county's general fund. The motion to approve the agreement passed unanimously. No additional procurement actions or contract awards were discussed.
