Council backs resolution supporting Pioneer Crossing senior housing tax-credit application
Summary
The council approved a resolution supporting Brownwood Pioneer Crossing LLC’s application for 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits to build a 48-unit senior living development, with anticipated construction in November 2026 and the city offering reduced fees or equivalent support of at least $250.
City Manager Marshal McIntosh updated the council on a resubmission by Brownwood Pioneer Crossing, LLC for 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. The 2026 proposal is for a 48-unit senior living development on land at 2500 Stephen F. Austin; the project previously received local permit support but did not close in 2023 due to syndicator interest in rural markets.
McIntosh said the updated timeline anticipates construction beginning in November 2026 with an estimated 12-month build. Proposed amenities listed in the staff summary include a clubhouse with dining areas, fitness and business centers, a warming kitchen, laundry, a gazebo and a dog park.
Councilmember HD Jones moved and Draco A. Miller seconded a resolution supporting the applicant’s TDHCA submission and offering city assistance (reduced fees or other contribution of at least $250). The motion passed unanimously (Resolution No. R-26-08).
The resolution expresses council support for the tax-credit application but does not itself commit capital beyond the described fee reduction or in-kind contribution; final project financing and construction remain contingent on TDHCA award and any subsequent approvals.
