Executive Order
AWR 94-17
ESTABLISHING A STATE PLANNING REGION TO PROMOTE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
   WHEREAS, the East Texas Housing Finance Corporation, hereinafter the 
Corporation, is a duly organized and validly existing joint housing corporation 
created pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 394 of the Local Government Code 
which is currently comprised of Anderson, Camp, Cherokee, Gregg, Harrison, 
Henderson, Marion, Panola, Rains, Rusk, Smith, Upshur, Van Zandt, and Wood 
Counties; and
   WHEREAS, the Corporation was created, inter alia, in order to provide low 
interest mortgage funds for the purpose of promoting affordable housing for low 
and moderate income families within the East Texas area; and
   WHEREAS, there exist common and interrelated problems of affordable housing 
within the counties comprising the Corporation and Angelina and Nacogdoches 
Counties; and
   WHEREAS, the Corporation has approved the inclusion of Angelina and 
Nacogdoches Counties in the jurisdiction of the Corporation, contingent upon 
issuance of an executive order of the Governor of Texas establishing a state 
planning region for the purposes of sec.394.012, Local Government Code, which 
would include all the counties presently comprising the Corporation and Angelina 
and Nacogdoches Counties; and
   WHEREAS, it appears that the Corporation has the clear, present, and unique 
opportunity to sponsor a program which will provide low cost mortgage loans 
within the seventeen counties listed below, a function which neither the Deep 
East Texas Council of Governments nor the East Texas Council of Governments is 
providing or is capable of providing under existing statutory or regulatory law 
in this state;
   NOW THEREFORE, I, Ann W. Richards, Governor of the State of Texas, under the 
authority vested in me, pursuant to the provision of sec.772.002, Texas 
Government Code, and in my capacity as Chief Planning Officer of the State of 
Texas, hereby delineate the geographic boundaries of the following adjoining

for low income families: Anderson, Angelina, Camp, Cherokee, Gregg, Harrison,

can be originated pursuant to the 1994 East Texas Housing Finance Corporation 
mortgage revenue bond issue.   This executive order shall be effective 
immediately and shall remain in full force and effect until modified, amended, 
or rescinded by me.        

Issued in Austin, Texas on March 19, 1994.
