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

The resolution highlights 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, noting that the Taft Housing Authority plays a vital role in empowering families and strengthening the local community. The Texas House of Representatives extends a warm welcome to the visiting delegation from the Taft Housing Authority and expresses its high regard through this official resolution.
