The notice indicates that certain income limitations, status of units, and non-transient requirements have been temporarily suspended for some LIHTC projects in order for the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) to temporarily provide housing refuge to individuals who have been displaced or whose residences are uninhabitable as a result of the flooding. All other Section-42 rules and requirements still apply during the temporary suspension. The effective date of the notice is June 27, 2011.
