The Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) and Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) 
are pleased to announce the third annual Iowa Thriving Communities competition.

 

The initiative provides communities that are leveraging innovative methods to attract housing opportunities for their workforce with a chance to be recognized for their efforts. A limited number of communities will be awarded the designation, which comes with highly sought after scoring points for the Federal Housing Tax Credit and/or Workforce Housing Tax Credit programs, in addition to incentive points for the HOME and Community Catalyst programs. The scoring points will be available through the end of the calendar year following the community’s designation as an Iowa Thriving Community.

 

IFA/IEDA will host an informational webinar on Monday, February 3 at 1:00 p.m. Join this informational webinar to learn about this year's eligibility requirements, how applications will be scored, requirements for the designation and a timeline of important dates for this application. There will also be time for Q&A.
