Which acronym represents the Texas department handling housing and community development?

• A. Texas Department of Housing and Urban Development
• B. Texas Department of Rural Development
• C. Texas Department of Health and Community Affairs
• D. Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA)

Answer: (D)

The main idea is identifying the Texas agency that manages housing and community development programs. Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, abbreviated TDHCA, is the state agency dedicated to housing initiatives—like affordable housing, homeownership support, and related community development efforts in Texas. The other options point to federal or unrelated departments (HUD is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; Rural Development relates to a federal program, not a Texas department; Health and Community Affairs isn’t the Texas housing agency). So TDHCA is the one that represents Texas’s housing and community development work.
