Proposing a constitutional amendment creating the workforce housing fund to facilitate the development of affordable workforce housing and transferring to that fund $2 billion from state general revenue.
SJR 75 proposes a constitutional amendment to create a special "workforce housing fund" in the state treasury, using $2 billion transferred from the state general revenue fund starting January 1, 2026. The fund would provide low-interest loans to developers for building affordable housing targeted at workers, administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Repayments of these loans would return to the general revenue fund, and the transfer expires January 1, 2029. This amendment requires voter approval in the November 2025 election before becoming law.
