The resolution recognizes February 24, 2025, as Taft Housing Authority Day at the State Capitol, honoring the representatives of the Taft Housing Authority during their visit. Established in 1962, the Taft Housing Authority has played a crucial role in providing low-rent public housing to residents of Taft. In 2019, the authority transitioned to the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, allowing it to utilize tax credits for significant renovations of its properties. Notably, the agency 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 highlights the leadership of Donnie Riojas, the executive director of the Taft Housing Authority, who has dedicated over 35 years to the agency. It emphasizes the importance of stable housing for individual security and community well-being, acknowledging the authority's efforts in empowering families and strengthening the local community. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its high regard for the Taft Housing Authority by preparing an official copy of the resolution for the agency.
