 Austin, Texas – The Texas Affiliation of Affordable Housing Providers (TAAHP), the state’s pre-eminent voice for the development of housing for low-income communities, today announced the appointment of Meghan Cano as president of its board of directors, making Cano the organization’s first TAAHP leader who is a former resident of a low-income housing facility. A native of San Antonio, Texas, Cano also becomes the youngest board president to serve TAAHP in the group’s 27-year history.

“I am honored to serve an organization committed to affordable housing in Texas that also stands as a model for the nation,” said Cano. “As the housing crisis in Texas persists, it is more urgent than ever to educate policymakers and advocate for action that leads to the creation of housing for families in need across the state.”
