What’s in it
This bill is related to the workforce housing tax incentives program. Current law requires the economic development authority (authority) to allocate no more than $25 million to the workforce housing tax incentives program (program) in a single fiscal year, with $10 million of that allocation reserved for qualified housing projects (projects) in small cities. The bill directs the authority to annually allocate $30 million to the program. In addition, the bill requires the authority to reserve percent of the allocation to projects in small cities until the date on which there are no projects located in small cities remaining on any wait list the authority maintains for the program.
Read the full explanation
“Small city” is defined in the bill as any city or township located in this state, except those located wholly within or more of the most populous counties in the state, as determined by the most recent population estimates issued by the United States bureau of census. The bill expands eligible housing projects to include the rehabilitation, repair, or improvements to accessibility of single-family dwelling units built before 1990.
