The
Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) has requested a $14.4 million budget for information resources in its
Fiscal Year 2026-27 legislative appropriations request (LAR).
According to the request, the agency requires $8.1 million for IT capital budget items and $6.3 million for its Information Services Department. TDHCA did not request funding for any exceptional items.
About $5.5 million of the $6.3 million funding request is reserved for salaries and wages.
The following information resource items are included in the capital budget request:
- $4.8 million for information resource technology acquisitions
- $1.7 million for access database consolidation
- $863,000 million for Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System (CAPPS) maintenance
- $742,000 for data center/shared technology services
THCDA’s capital budget request is approximately $3 million less than the agency was granted for equivalent items in the
General Appropriations Bill (HB 1) for FY 24-25.
