The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency has released the Second Draft 2017 Qualified Allocation Plan.

Because changes between the first and second draft were so few, a changes memo was not created. The following are the significant changes:

  • National Housing Trust Fund (page7): Appendix J is intended to provide additional information and should be posted to the web site soon
  • Site Scoring (page 14): clarified the 4 stores in a strip shopping center for Retail can be any type of store
  • Site Suitability (page 14): electrical utility substation distance was reduced from 500 feet to 250 feet to be consistent with power transmission lines and tower
  • Tenant Rent Levels (page 16): required percentage of deeper targeted units for points was reduced
  • Various changes in scoring, including increasing the max scoring for amenities from 27 to 38 points.

NCHFA will continue to post second draft comments as they are received.
