TAAHP's premier purpose is to work for laws, regulations, and programs that are necessary for, and contribute toward, the development of a viable affordable housing inventory in Texas and to promote the common interests of the members of the affordable housing industry through communications and conferences.
The birth of TAAHP came from a 1996 meeting of several housing providers considering forming a broad-based organization to represent the voice of the Texas affordable housing industry. Several organizations representing low income residents, nonprofit associations, people with disabilities, seniors, Public Housing Authorities, and others, were well established and recognized for their commitment to their constituencies. From that meeting it was decided that a comprehensive voice for the development of affordable housing was needed, and TAAHP became a viable entity.
