Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers

What Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers does

The Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers (TAAHP) is a non-profit 501(c)(6) trade association founded in 1997 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that operates as the principal advocacy body and member-services organization for affordable housing providers in Texas. Its membership comprises attorneys, accountants, for-profit and non-profit developers, investors and syndicators, property management firms, market analysts, housing finance corporations, vendors, government entities, students, and other housing advocates. TAAHP engages in legislative and regulatory advocacy — including direct input into the Texas Qualified Allocation Plan — operates a Political Action Committee, and produces research and data publications such as the 2025 BUILD Texas Report.

TAAHP's core products and services are organized around four pillars: tiered membership programs (Industry Professional, Government/Regulatory, Educator, and Student levels); the annual Texas Housing Conference, which the organization describes as the largest regional affordable housing conference with more than 2,000 attendees from nearly all 50 states and approximately 100 exhibitors; an ongoing education program including monthly webinars and an All-In annual subscription with archived recordings; and Local and Municipal Affairs (LAMA) groups established in 2024 in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston for local networking and advocacy. Supporting initiatives include the TAAHP Foundation scholarship program, which has awarded nearly $1,000,000 in scholarships to students residing in member-owned affordable housing. The technology footprint is largely off-the-shelf: Quorum software for legislative tracking and bill monitoring, a member management platform for event registration and webinar subscriptions, and standard web-based content delivery.

Revenue is generated through multiple recurring and event-driven streams: annual membership dues, conference and event registration plus exhibitor and sponsorship fees, All-In webinar subscriptions and individual webinar purchases, Political Action Committee contributions, and scholarship donations. Membership is concentrated geographically in Texas with secondary national reach through the conference. The organization is governed by a member-elected Board of Directors with term limits and is supported by a professional staff of 11-50, with Roger Arriaga serving as Executive Director.

Regional players

• Texas Apartment Association: The Texas Apartment Association is the largest trade association for the rental housing industry in Texas. It operates in the same geography as TAAHP, with overlapping multifamily membership, and has partnered with TAAHP on joint comment letters to TDHCA.

Broad incumbents

• National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC): NLIHC is the leading national advocacy organization for low-income housing. TAAHP explicitly references NLIHC's annual Gap Report as a primary data source, and the two operate in overlapping policy advocacy space at federal versus state levels.
• National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA): NCSHA represents state housing finance agencies that allocate LIHTC and other federal resources. TAAHP's members work closely with these agencies, and NCSHA shapes federal housing finance policy that directly affects TAAHP's advocacy outcomes.
• National Association of Home Builders (NAHB): NAHB is the largest national trade association representing the housing industry, including multifamily developers who are core TAAHP members. NAHB operates at significantly larger scale and overlaps in advocacy scope on housing supply and tax policy.
• National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO): NAHRO is a national membership organization for housing authorities and redevelopment officials. TAAHP's work intersects with public housing authority members such as Opportunity Home San Antonio, making NAHRO a complementary but overlapping peer.

Direct peers

• Florida Housing Coalition: Florida Housing Coalition is a statewide nonprofit advocating for affordable housing in Florida, closely paralleling TAAHP's structure and mission in Texas. Both are state-level housing advocacy organizations serving similar member types and policy environments.
• Illinois Housing Council: The Illinois Housing Council is a statewide trade association representing the affordable housing industry in Illinois. It parallels TAAHP in serving developers, lenders, and advocates focused on state-level affordable housing policy and LIHTC program administration.
• New York State Association for Affordable Housing (NYSAFAH): NYSAFAH is the primary statewide affordable housing trade association for New York, paralleling TAAHP's role as the 'Voice of Affordable Housing' in Texas. Both are member-based advocacy bodies serving developers, lenders, and professionals in their respective states.
• Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition: The Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition is a national advocacy organization for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. It is directly relevant to TAAHP's members, who are active LIHTC developers and investors in Texas.

Emerging players

• Housing Partnership Network: Housing Partnership Network is a national collaborative of nonprofit affordable housing developers and lenders. While distinct from TAAHP's broader membership model, it represents a complementary ecosystem player serving parts of TAAHP's nonprofit developer constituency.
