LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) today announced its largest award in recent history of more than $27.9 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), which will be used to construct new affordable multifamily rental housing and to rehabilitate existing properties for low- to moderate-income Michigan residents.

MSHDA's latest LIHTC funding round will support the construction and renovation of more than 1,400 affordable housing units in rural and urban communities throughout the state. Of the 25 LIHTC-funded projects, 20 involve new construction -- creating over 1,000 new affordable apartments. Five existing projects also will see rehabilitation and renovation in approximately 470 units.

"When people have an affordable place to call home in their community, they have the dignity, stability, and peace of mind knowing one of their basic needs are met," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "Investments in housing are foundational to continuing our economic jumpstart and I am grateful to MSHDA for helping hundreds of families find home and have a launching pad to pursue their potential."

LIHTC are federal tax credits administered through MSHDA following a competitive application process. Developers who are recipients of LIHTC funds can claim credit against their tax liability annually for up to 10 years, thereby continuing to incentivize investing in affordable housing in local communities.

"These 25 new projects will create an estimated 2,000 jobs, stimulate local economic growth, and bring needed new and improved safe, decent and affordable housing options to areas where it is needed most," said Chad Benson, MSHDA rental development director.
