Multifamily Development
In a city where over half of our population rents homes, we need to make sure we’re meeting their needs. HCD relies on community partners and developers to create affordable apartment units throughout the city. We give financial backing for developers to create new units, a portion of which must be held to lower-income people for affordability periods up to 40 years.
Information for Renters
Residents looking for available apartments to rent should refer to our rental assistance page. For housing discrimination refer to our tenant/landlord resources.

The Department regularly creates Notices of Funding Availability (NOFAs) to select projects. Developers should also look to banks, investors, and private philanthropy for more funding. The latest requests were made through our Harvey Multifamily Program. Multifamily developers must also comply with city and federal compliance standards
