Lt. Gov. Crouch, IHCDA Announce $130 Million In Tax Credits And Bond Awards For Affordable Housing

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Board of Directors for the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) announced six developments have received awards from the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, in conjunction with Multifamily Tax Exempt Bonds. This funding is used to incentivize private developers to fund the acquisition, rehabilitation, and construction of affordable housing communities throughout Indiana.

“Affordable housing is vital to a community’s vibrancy,” Crouch said. “Through the tax credits and bonds, these six properties will preserve or create hundreds of units, greatly benefitting the Hoosiers who live, work and play there in those communities.”

IHCDA receives applications for Housing Tax Credits and Multifamily Bonds under the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP). The QAP, which is unique to each authoring state, details selection criteria, and application requirements for the LIHTC program, Multifamily Bonds, HOME funds, Development Fund, and the National Housing Trust Fund in conjunction with tax credits. It also contains all deadlines, application fees, restrictions, standards, and requirements.
