INDIANAPOLIS – Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Board of Directors for the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) today announced that four developments have received awards from the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, in conjunction with the Multifamily Tax Exempt Bonds. This funding is used to incentivize private developers to fund the construction, acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable housing communities throughout Indiana.

“These awards are a major investment into Indiana’s infrastructure,” Crouch said. “Through tax credits and bonds, these four properties will create and preserve nearly one thousand units of affordable units and will greatly benefit these communities and the Hoosiers who live, work and play there.”

More than $72 million in Housing Tax Credits and $110 million in Multifamily Bonds were awarded to four developments to create and preserve 969 affordable units that will serve individuals and families across Indiana in Clarksville, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis.
