We've posted online a handful of new documents for owners of Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties.
In a memo being sent today, Assistant Director of Multifamily Programs Kim Roy details a number of annual obligations LIHTC property owners must meet, including submitting:
Director of Multifamily Programs Sam Falzone reminds all owners, managers and auditors of VHFA-financed multifamily properties of the March 1 deadline for audited financial statements. Meeting the deadline this year is more important than ever, since VHFA will be using your statements to make decisions about our portfolio and to update ratings agencies prior to issuing bonds to finance affordable housing later this year.
The Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) Fair Housing Project and VHFA have published a short report titled "Sub-Prime Lending in Vermont."
Subsidized housing managers/owners: We've posted the 2009 certification timeline and Application for Subsidized Rental Housing Certification online.
Act 68, passed by the Vermont legislature in 2003, affects the way subsidized housing buildings in Vermont are taxed. To assure your property is not taxed at the higher "non-homestead" rate, you must apply for the subsidized rental housing designation.
