Thrive on Crawford is located at 1310 Crawford Street in Fort Worth and will serve households earning between 30 to 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The development features one, two, and three-bedroom units. Amenities include a business center, clubhouse and lounge area, and outdoor playground. The development is a 2021 9% Housing Tax Credit (HTC) recipient ($1.7 million worth approx. $17 million over 10-year term), a 2023 supplemental 9% HTC recipient, and a 2023 Multifamily Direct Loan recipient ($1.8 million).

Today, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs celebrated the official grand opening for the City of Liberty’s Fire Station 22. The 100-year-old station’s modernization was made possible by a $5 million grant through TDHCA’s Community Resiliency Program.

The Community Resiliency Program is funded through the Community Development Block Grant CARES Act, and allows low- and moderate-income areas, and rural and small metro communities to address gaps in their ability to prepare, prevent and respond to a future pandemic. TDHCA has funded 18 projects through CRP.
