Fairfield Residents,

As most of you are aware, the initial Multi-Family Tax Credit Program Complex, “Westfield Crossing” which was being planned to be built in front of Westchase Village will not proceed forward.

The development company dropped their plans to proceed after meeting the sever opposition from the residents of Westchase Village, Fairfield, and Barrington.

You may also remember that the initial petition was changed to address another development that was in the planning phases to go on County Property directly across from Fairfield next to Boys Haven.

This particular Project “Providence on Major Drive” is current proceeding forward with some community support from various Churches and Community Organizations.

The complex is shown to be a three (3) story complex is 128 Units divided by Rent Type as follows:

11 Low Income Units (TC 30%)
22 Low Income Units (TC 50%)
75 Low Income Units (TC 60%)
20 Market Rate Units

The State has advanced this application to the next phase which will be a review for funding.  The total funds being requested for the entire State is approximately $126 Million in which an approximately $ 58 Million is available.

The Project for our area (Region 5 / Urban) is requesting Tax Credits of $1.245 Million where there is only $ 830 Thousand available.

Please note that just because there is not enough money at this immediate time, as the State reviews the viable projects, the funds for this project may be transferred from other regions to fund this one based on many considerations.

As the President of the Fairfield Homeowners Association, I will be sending a letter with copies of our Petition to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs – Multifamily Finance Division in opposition of this development proceeding.

I strongly urge each resident that is opposed to write as well stressing your opposition.

Note: Opposition Letters must be received by the State no later than June 14, 2013.

Please address your letter to the following:

Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs
Multifamily Finance Division
P.O. Box 13941
Austin, Texas  78711-3941

I also suggest that those interested in seeing exactly what is being Proposed, review the application from “Providence on Major” by going to the link below.   The application is 206 pages long, however, it is worth reviewing to understand what is being planned.
