At our November Board of Directors meeting, we announced recipients of the 2025 Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and Multifamily Bonds with the Indiana Affordable and Workforce Housing Tax Credit (AWHTC). These programs use federal and state tax credits and tax-exempt bond financing to incentivize private developers to fund the construction, acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable housing communities throughout Indiana.

More than $20 million in 9% LIHTC was awarded to 16 developments to create or preserve 761 affordable units that will serve individuals, families, seniors, individuals with disabilities and individuals experiencing homelessness. Please see the table below for the selected developments:

9% LIHTC

IHCDA received 37 LIHTC applications requesting 2025 9% LIHTC under the 2025 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) The QAP, which is unique to each participating state, details selection criteria and application requirements for the LIHTC program, Multifamily Bonds, AWHTC, HOME funds, Development Fund and the Housing Trust Fund.

IHCDA incentivizes developments that will be in proximity and accessible to desirable facilities tailored to the need of the tenants, including access to services, retail, healthcare and transit. IHCDA prioritizes developments that will be in communities with nearby access to employment, access to post-secondary education and access to primary care.
