Past Presidents
We extend our deepest gratitude to TAAHP’s past presidents for their leadership and dedication. Since its founding in 1997, TAAHP has been at the forefront of advocacy for increasing both the supply and quality of affordable housing for Texans, earning its reputation as the “Voice of Affordable Housing in Texas.” Through their vision and commitment, our former leaders have helped shape a strong industry network that advocates for innovative solutions and fosters public-private partnerships involved in the financing, design, development, and management of affordable housing communities across the state. Their contributions have laid a vital foundation for our ongoing efforts to serve Texas families and communities.
