H.R. No. 129 is a resolution recognizing February 24, 2025, as Taft Housing Authority Day at the State Capitol in Texas. The resolution highlights the significant contributions of the Taft Housing Authority, which has been providing low-rent public housing to residents since its establishment in 1962. The agency transitioned to the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program in 2019, allowing it to utilize tax credits for extensive renovations of its properties. Notably, the Taft Housing Authority recently completed a renovation project for its 72-unit development, now named Cottonview Terrace, which includes a facility for a Head Start youth program.

The resolution also acknowledges the leadership of Donnie Riojas, the executive director of the Taft Housing Authority, who has served for over 35 years. It emphasizes the importance of stable housing for individual security and community well-being, recognizing the agency's role in empowering families and strengthening the local community. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its high regard for the Taft Housing Authority and extends a warm welcome to the visiting delegation.
