Raymond James Tax Credit Funds announced it has recently partnered with the BOKF Community Development Fund, a Bank of Oklahoma subsidiary focused on economic development and affordable housing, to provide $6.9 million in low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity to two developments in McAlester, Okla.
"Affordable housing fulfills a vital need for families in the communities we serve," said Paula Bryant-Ellis, president of BOKF Community Development Fund. "This is a great partnership for us with Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, and we look forward to working with them on future projects."
