SDHDA Awards $9.2 Million in Housing Development and Rehabilitation Funding
Pierre, SD – May 6, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — The South Dakota Housing Development Authority’s (SDHDA) Board of Commissioners has approved more than $1.5 million in Housing Tax Credits, $4.5 million in HOME Investment Partnerships Program, and $3.2 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Program funding for housing development and preservation across the state.
“With the high level of competition for funds this year, SDHDA did not have sufficient resources to fund all eligible applications,” said Lloyd Schipper, SDHDA Board Chairman. “Based on the Housing Tax Credit, HOME and Neighborhood Stabilization Program funding available, 10 development projects will result in over $27 million in total development, strengthening South Dakota’s housing stock and boosting our state’s economy.”
The 10 developments funded will provide residents with 153 newly constructed multifamily housing units, six newly constructed single family housing units, and 150 rehabilitated multifamily and elderly housing units.
“These programs address the unique housing needs of South Dakota communities,” said Mark Lauseng, SDHDA Executive Director. “The housing units will help low-income residents, Habitat for Humanity families and elderly residents across the state.”
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 established the Housing Tax Credit Program as an incentive for construction, rehabilitation and acquisition/rehabilitation of housing for low-income households. Developers of housing tax credit projects typically raise equity capital for their projects by syndicating the tax credits to investors who are willing to invest in the projects. The investors’ return is the annual tax credit and other economic benefits generated by the projects. The U.S. Department of Treasury annually allocates South Dakota in excess of $2 million for the effort. SDHDA, as the credit-issuing agency, is responsible for the administration of the tax credits to qualifying housing developers.
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program provides funds to developers and/or owners for acquisition, new construction, and rehabilitation of affordable housing. SDHDA receives about $3.8 million a year from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for affordable single and multifamily housing opportunities statewide.
Funded under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Neighborhood Stabilization Program provides funds to redevelop neighborhoods by acquiring, rehabilitating, or redeveloping foreclosed, vacant, or abandoned properties. SDHDA received $19.6 million in NSP funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
