HJR 108 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment creating the workforce housing fund to facilitate the development of affordable workforce housing.

HJR 108 proposes a constitutional amendment to create a state-funded "workforce housing fund" specifically for building affordable housing for essential workers like teachers, nurses, and public safety staff. The fund would provide grants and low-interest loans directly to cities and towns (municipalities) to develop such housing, administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Money for the fund would come from state appropriations, loan repayments, investments, donations, and other designated state revenues. This amendment requires voter approval in the November 2025 election before becoming part of the Texas Constitution.
