LHC Board Approves $187 Million to Develop Multifamily Rental Properties
LHC’s Board of Directors approved $187 million to develop 1,081 affordable rental units across six Louisiana parishes at their monthly board meeting, July 8.
This multi-million dollar investment represents a combination of LHC’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and Multi-family Revenue Bonds (MRBs) and the Office of Community Development’s Community Development Block Grants (CDBG).
Projects represent a mix of new construction and preservation developments that aim to assist working families, households with children, seniors, and people with disabilities.
The Multi-family Mortgage Revenue Bond program uses tax-exempt bonds to provide below market-rate loans to developers who set aside a certain percentage of their apartment units for low income families. The bonds are leveraged with 10-year 4 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC).
The following properties were approved for bond issuance:
- Lotus Village – East Baton Rouge Parish
$19.5 Million ($12.1M MRB and $7.45M LIHTC), 116 units - Miller Roy Building – Ouachita Parish
