Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) is pleased to announce the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) awards for the second and final allocation round of 2018. CHFA is the allocating agency of federal and state LIHTC in Colorado. In this round, 33 applications requesting $35.9 million in 9 percent federal LIHTC were received.
CHFA is awarding $17,128,412 in 9 percent federal LIHTC to sponsors of 15 developments, which will support the new construction of 814 affordable rental housing units in Colorado. Earlier this year, in recognition of the severe housing crisis facing the nation, Congress approved a temporary increase to the amount of 9 percent federal LIHTC available for states to allocate. In Colorado, that increase has resulted in $2.1 million more cap available for allocation in 2018. This increase helped CHFA support two additional developments, or 181 more affordable rental housing units, this year compared to 2017. This temporary increase will be available each year through 2021.
The following developments have been awarded federal LIHTC from CHFA. Full descriptions may be viewed here.
