Iowa Finance Authority awards nearly $9 million in tax credits for affordable housing

The Iowa Finance Authority Board of Directors has awarded nearly $9 million in federal housing tax credits and nearly $66 million in tax-exempt bond financing to support the development of 595 affordable rental homes in four Iowa communities. The projects include 240 new apartments at Crescent Heights Apartment Homes in Council Bluffs, 112 apartments at The Wilmac in Dubuque, 87 apartments at Rath Fifteen 15 in Waterloo and 156 new apartments at Central at 8th in West Des Moines. The Dubuque and Waterloo projects will convert existing buildings into apartments, while the Council Bluffs and West Des Moines developments will involve new construction. The awards were made through the federal 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, which helps finance affordable rental housing for income-qualified households. The authority received six applications requesting more than $14 million in annual tax credits and nearly $104 million in tax-exempt bonds.
