MSHDA Announces $9.6 Million in LIHTC Awards
Eight developments have been selected to receive $9.6 million in low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).
"These tax credits will leverage millions of dollars in investment necessary to develop thriving and vibrant communities around the state, creating jobs and providing affordable housing," said MSHDA Executive Director Gary Heidel in a statement. "In this time of economic challenge, we must do all that we can to stimulate the economy and help Michigan citizens who are struggling."
The developments, which will provide 662 affordable units, will also help bolster the state's economy by creating approximately 1,600 jobs in construction and related trades.
