Which department addresses housing and community development issues such as economic development, infrastructure for rural communities, and energy assistance?

• A. Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA)
• B. Texas Department of Urban Development
• C. Texas Energy Commission
• D. Texas Department of Social Services

Answer: (A)

Housing and community development, including economic development, rural infrastructure improvements, and energy assistance, are responsibilities of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. This agency administers affordable housing programs, supports community development projects that bolster rural infrastructure, and runs energy assistance for low‑income Texans. The other options don’t combine these areas: one option isn’t an actual Texas department focused on these programs, another would regulate energy rather than provide assistance, and the last centers on welfare and social services rather than housing and community development.
