Belton, a city in Texas, has a single Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing project. This project, known as Chisholm Trail Senior Village, provides 54 affordable housing units, all of which are designated as low-income units. Based on the estimated housing inventory of 14,705 units for the city's 2022 population, the LIHTC-funded affordable housing represents approximately 0.37% of the city's housing stock.
Belton has received $415,000 in project tax credits through the LIHTC program for affordable housing. This translates to an average federal funding of $415,000 per project and approximately $7,685 per unit. The city holds 0.36% of the total state LIHTC funding, indicating a relatively small share of Texas's overall affordable housing investment.
The Chisholm Trail Senior Village project was completed in 2006 and has been providing affordable housing in the city for over 15 years. The project consists of 54 units, including 4 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom units. The remaining unit types are not specified in the available data.
Belton has experienced significant population growth over the last decade, increasing from 31,084 in 2016 to 38,380 in 2022. Despite this growth, no new LIHTC projects have been developed during this period. The median income has fluctuated but generally increased from $67,795 in 2016 to $70,000 in 2022.
Racial demographics in Belton have remained relatively stable. The white population decreased slightly from 61% in 2016 to 60% in 2022. The Hispanic population has held steady at around 27-28% during this period. The Black population has remained consistent at 7%, while the Asian population has stayed at 1%. There has been a notable increase in individuals identifying as two or more races, growing from 1% in 2016 to 5% in 2022.
Belton's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory consists of a single project, Chisholm Trail Senior Village, which has been serving the community since 2006. The city has experienced significant population growth and slight increases in median income over the past decade, but there have been no new LIHTC developments during this time. The existing project provides a small but important contribution to the city's affordable housing needs, covering less than 1% of the estimated housing inventory. The racial demographics of Belton have remained relatively stable, with a slight increase in diversity as reflected in the growth of the multi-racial population.
