LANSING, Mich. – Michigan will soon see a boost in affordable housing for working families and seniors with help from a new round of federal tax credits to fund major renovation and construction projects. The Michigan State Housing Development Authority is awarding 14 developments with more than $13.5 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), Executive Director Earl Poleski announced today.
“Housing tax credits are a critical resource for developers to leverage when planning to rehabilitate or build new, good quality affordable rental housing in Michigan,” Poleski said. “Without this incentive, we simply would not be able to meet the state’s housing infrastructure demands for those who need it the most.”
These projects will yield 868 units of rental housing for low- to moderate-income individuals and families throughout Michigan.
“Overall, we estimate that this round of awards will leverage more than $120 million in private investment for Michigan,” Poleski said.
LIHTC are federal tax credits administered by MSHDA through a competitive application process. The Authority holds two funding rounds per year, in October and April, each for roughly half of the available $23 million credit. Developers can draw from their tax credit amount annually for 10 years, keeping housing affordable over the long term and sustaining major investments in local communities.
