The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency’s board recently approved its qualified allocation plan (QAP) for the agency’s 2010 low-income housing tax credit program.  The agency will allocate 2010 tax credits based on the following overriding principles and preferences:

  • Projects demonstrating an ability to proceed by maximizing the benefits of the LIHTC program, while meeting reasonable cost parameters and achieving basic program standards;
  • Projects achieving geographic distribution and affording diversity of project type (general occupancy, elderly and special needs);
  • Projects allowing the Agency to achieve the federally mandated nonprofit set aside; and,
  • Projects serving the lowest income residents.

Applications for 2010 Tax Credit Projects may be submitted to the Agency on or before February 26, 2010.
