OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM

The Commission allocates multifamily tax-exempt volume cap bonds (“Bond Cap”) and the non-competitive, 4% housing tax credits statewide for developers of affordable multifamily housing. Bond Cap is awarded to selected multifamily housing developers through a competitive application process. Developers work with the Commission directly for both the bond issuance and related 4% tax credits. The Commission also partners with the Association of Washington Housing Authorities (AWHA) to develop a shared pipeline and program thresholds, resulting in the timely allocation of available cap to public housing authority projects also seeking 4% tax credits.
