The Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) issued a procedure to request relief for the placed-in-service deadline for allocations of 2018 and 2019 tax credits. Waiver requests should be sent via email to Jeanne Redondo, Rental Programs administrator at jeanne.redondo@azhousing.gov, and include the following information:

  • Description of the project-specific facts and circumstances that prevent the owner from meeting the placed-in-service deadline;
  • Documentation that supports that description;
  • The date for which you are requesting an extension of the placed-in-service deadline, and;
  • Letters from your lender(s) and syndicator, stating that the requested extension will not adversely affect the financing they have committed to the project. The developer is responsible for filling any financing gaps created by the delay. ADOH will not provide additional tax credits or financing to the Project.
