Thirteen planned income-restricted housing projects in Colorado have been awarded federal tax credits.
The developments total 703 units, according to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), which awards the credits.
In total, 23 projects competed for the tax credits. All the developments selected will receive a 9 percent federal tax credit. One project was awarded a paired 9 percent and 4 percent credit.
Developers sell the tax credits to investors to raise equity for their projects, according to CHFA. The equity reduces the amount of debt financing or other funding sources needed to make the development financially feasible with the rent limits required under the programs.
