Who counts
THDA keeps a defined list of the jobs that count, and it can change. The list is not printed here until a person has checked it against THDA's own page, so read THDA's list, not a copy of it.
If your job may be on the list
Ask a THDA-approved lender to check it. They will ask for proof of the job, and the same loan rules apply as for any THDA loan.
