Network Notes
- Per the Fall 2024 HCR Multifamily Finance 9% LIHTC RFP , there is NOT anticipated funding for this program. The FHTF is funded based on a percentage of FHA mortgage business, which has declined due to high mortgage interest rates
- This program was created through the 2008 Housing and Economic Recovery Act to finance housing for people with the lowest incomes. Federal HTF is allocated to states by a federal formula.
- Financing is only available for site-specific multifamily rental housing that will have first mortgages financed by tax-exempt or taxable bonds issued by HFA. Integrated Supportive Housing Projects are a priority.
