Tennessee Developers Council
NH&RA's Tennessee Developers Council provides a forum for LIHTC and affordable multifamily developers (both private and non-profit) who work with the Tennessee Housing Development Authority to convene on a regular basis to share ideas, network, and provide a clear voice on key policy issues being considered by THDA and state legislators. As a member of the Tennessee Developers Council, you would also enjoy all of the benefits of membership in NH&RA.

Who
Private and non-profit multifamily affordable rental housing developers, and associates, active in Tennessee.
What
-
Coordinate and represent TDC at THDA bimonthly board meetings as well as host bimonthly TDC conference calls (in alternating months from board meetings).
-
Where there is unity of opinion by TDC members, NH&RA will act as TDC’s representative to THDA in presenting its opinion. Where there is a difference of opinion by TDC’s members, NH&RA will present both opinions to THDA without taking a formal position.
-
Coordinate and draft TDC comments on key THDA policy documents including the QAP and attachment.
-
Publish a monthly memo to members on TDC activities and relevant news and create a page for TDC’s web presence on www.housingonline.com, NH&RA's comprehensive website.
-

Why
NH&RA has a long working relationship with THDA and its senior leadership. Over the years we have conducted training for the agency staff, worked with the agency on a number of national initiatives both through our own association and NCSHA and convened the executive leadership at our own events. THDA’s senior leadership has indicated a desire for its developer partners to form an association to facilitate dialogue and exchange ideas on how to improve the LIHTC allocation process and encourage the creation and preservation of the affordable rental housing in Tennessee. TDC will provide a sounding board for THDA to bounce ideas off the development community and to more efficiently receive feedback. Tennessee is one of the few states of size without a well organized affordable housing developers' organization.
When & Where
TDC will meeting in person in conjunction with THDA bimonthly board meetings, as well as host bimonthly TDC conference calls (in alternating months from board meetings).
