The Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) received $5 million for the Delaware Workforce Housing Program, established by Senate Bill 22, to increase the amount and quality of available workforce housing in Delaware.
DSHA has posted a draft of the proposed guidelines for the Workforce Housing Program online.
Any qualified workforce housing investor making a qualified workforce housing investment Level 1 or Level 2 is entitled to a grant in the amount up to 20% of the Workforce Housing Qualified Real Property Investment (QRPI) in excess of the MQI. Per the legislation, workforce housing is defined as a residential dwelling for a household whose income does not exceed 100% Area Median Income.
DSHA is accepting public comments on the draft guidelines until Friday, May 1, 2026, at 3 p.m. EST. This is an opportunity for stakeholders to submit feedback before the formal Administrative Procedures Act process begins.
All comments should be submitted with the subject line “WFH Public Comment” to Kimberly Edwards at [email protected].
