They have applied to the Texas <br />Department of Housing for tax credits. She stated this is not Section <br />8 because instead of providing a subsidy to the landlord for rent, tax <br />credits will provide the developer with up-front money to help build <br />the complex. The tenants will pay rent that is based upon their <br />income, and then they will be responsibte for paying the entire <br />amount themselves. <br />She stated that they will attempt to leave as much of a landscape <br />buffer as possible befinreen the complex and the surrounding <br />
