LIHTC 4 Percent Application and Conduit Bond Financing

The LIHTC program provides low-income tax credits for developers to construct, rehabilitate, or acquire and rehabilitate qualified low-income rental housing. OHCS reserves and allocates 4% non-competitive tax credits on eligible properties.

The Conduit Bond program provides bond issuance services. However, we do not provide the loan or credit enhancement. This program provides funds to finance multi-unit affordable housing for lower-income Oregonians. The program provides funds to construct, rehabilitate and acquire housing developments. The program objectives include additional flexibility in loan structure. Agency staff coordinate with the developers, lenders, and equity to underwrite and approve funding.

This program has transitioned to a competitive structure and the next NOFA will be September 27 – October 27, 2023 with pre-application survey submissions due by October 9th. Projects should meet the readiness to proceed benchmarks and be able to reach financial close by the end of March 2025. Please see the application materials below.
