A dozen planned income-restricted housing projects in the state have been awarded federal 9 percent low-income housing tax credits.
The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), which allocates both state and federal housing tax credits in Colorado, released a list this week of the projects. Combined, they will have 605 income-restricted units.
There are two types of federal housing tax credits: 9 percent and 4 percent. The 12 projects were chosen from 26 applications that CHFA received for the 9 percent credits this cycle.
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.
