The National Council of Affordable Housing Market Analysts recently recently submitted comments on the proposed 2010 qualified allocation plans (QAP) of several states for administering their upcoming rounds of low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program funding, including the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority, the Washing State Housing Finance Commission and the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency.  Through its comments, NCAHMA is urging state agencies that have not already done so, to incorporate its Model Content Standards for Market Studies of Rental Housing in their respective LIHTC programs.  To date, more than twenty state agencies have adopted or incentivized NCAHMA’s standards.

National Council of Affordable Housing Market Analysts will host its 2009 Affordable Housing Underwriting Forum & Annual Meeting November 9-10, 2009 at the Doubletree Hotel Chicago Magnificent Mile.  This meeting focuses on key affordable housing development, underwriting and market study issues. This year’s program includes a mix of program updates, roundtable discussions, market analysis updates and networking events.
