Which department looks after 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 Community Development
• C. Texas Department of Rural Economic Affairs
• D. Texas Department of Housing and Urban Development

Answer: (A)

This item tests knowing which Texas state agency handles housing and community development duties, including economic development, rural infrastructure, and energy assistance. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs is the state agency responsible for these areas. It administers programs for affordable housing, community development, and energy assistance for low-income households, and supports infrastructure in rural communities through its development initiatives. The other options aren’t a match: the Texas Department of Community Development and the Texas Department of Rural Economic Affairs aren’t actual state agencies, and the Texas Department of Housing and Urban Development refers to the federal federal agency HUD, which operates at the national level rather than as a Texas state department.
