Major Issues
– Owner Distribution limitation of LIHPHRA makes repayment of Seller Notes, Investor Fees and Deferred Developer Fees impossible
– HUD decision-making process vs. critical LIHTC and TCAP deadlines
13
• Conflicts between HUD Programs and Tax Credit Structure
• Enhanced Voucher Saga
TCAP Deadlines
![Page 14: What’s Old is New: Preservation Projects Amy Rowland, VP of Real Estate Development – Mercy Housing Mountain Plains Region Housing Innovation Marketplace](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a8542a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Enhanced Vouchers
• Covers tenants without PB Vouchers• Complicated, not like Section 8 Vouchers• No local experience at HA’s• Timing problems with local receipt of vouchers
vs. our HUD approvals• Result – minority of tenants will be able to use
vouchers to stay in our projects, which was a major intent of our restructuring

Lessons Learned• Perseverance & tenacity are
required - patience will not be rewarded
• Hire a lawyer with HUD-experience early (DC-based)
• 1+1+1 = 3!• Beware assumptions re:
qualified tenants• Asset Mgmt. tip - Keep on
top of allowable rent increases for HUD deals
