overcoming challenges in today’s market

Dear Texas Housing Conferees and Partners: Texas Housing Conference 2009 promises to be one of the more exciting as TAAHP attempts to address the many problems facing the housing market today. The cost of equity in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit industry, the scarcity of permanent financing, the “out of reach” cost of performance bonds and generally the lack of capital in the market place have heavily impacted the entire housing industry including its builders, developers, lenders, syndicators, investors and suppliers. The ARRA brought signs of hope for the housing recovery. The industry now waits on the rule making process at both the federal and state levels and to the flow of new capital into the market. The Texas Housing Conference 2009 will present a balance of educational blocks between housing finance, and building topics to new sustainable design and code enforcement challenges. For the first time in THC’s memory, TAAHP was successful in securing several grants from major corporations, federal and state agencies to underwrite bringing some of the nation’s recognized authorities and speakers to Austin for a range of housing related topics. We are excited to bring a leading architect from Australia who will present to you her case study on the innovated design of affordable housing in Australia, Great Britain and the USA. A new TAAHP Partnership also includes a Tier One Purchasing Arrangement for our membership. You are encouraged to visit the partner’s booths in the exhibit hall and establish your new purchasing arrangement. Texas Housing Conference continues to grow and expand in today’s challenging economy. While several other conferences are loosing partners and exhibitors, the Texas Housing Conference 2009 is actually larger than the 2008 Conference indicating our prominence in housing conferences.

TAAHP: Your Voice in Austin

n July 17, 2008 the Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers Political Action Committee (TAAHP-PAC) was chartered by the State of Texas. TAAHP-PAC was organized so that individuals and groups could utilize the TAAHP-PAC to channel their financial and technical assistance to those policy makers who support the adequate funding and production of affordable housing for Texans with limited incomes and special needs. Additional information on TAAHP-PAC is available through TAAHP-PAC@taahp.org, contacting any of the TAAHP-PAC Board of Directors or Jim Brown at 814 San Jacinto Blvd. Ste. 408, Austin, Texas 78701-2404, 512/476-9901, Fax 512/476-9903 or jbrown@taahp.org .

Dear TAAHP Friends:

THC 2009 chair sharing insight & innovation

Thank you for joining us in gorgeous Austin, Texas for the 11th annual Texas Housing Conference. This year’s theme, Tomorrow’s Housing REDEFINED could not be more appropriate. We have many critical issues facing the tax credit industry with the ongoing problems with the credit markets. To that end, the TAAHP staff and leadership team have worked diligently to bring you the best education sessions with the most qualified speakers in the nation that will help you with the challenges facing you today and in the year ahead. Energy efficiency and green building are a passion of mine and a priority of the current Administration. We want to give you the tools you need to design, build and maintain energy-efficient multifamily communities. You will learn everything you need to know during the Conference about national building standards, energysaving technologies, building science and housing designs. I urge you to attend as many education sessions as you can, you won’t be disappointed! As most of you can see, the Conference has a new look. We have moved all of our networking events to the Exhibit floor. This year you will find several new faces and I would like to ask you to stop by each booth and introduce yourself and welcome our long time partners as well as our new partners to the Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers and to your Texas Housing Conference.
