published the estimated amount of 9% and State Tax
credits to be allocated this year. San Diego
County will be eligible for $4,790,217 of federal
credits. Click here

Single Tax Credit Round in
2009 |
TCAC will be conducting a single competitive
funding round for 9% credits and for 4%-plus-state
credit awards. The application due date will be June 9,
2009, with the Committee making preliminary reservations
on September 9, 2009. For more details click here.
For those counting on a second round, TCAC staff is
proposing to provide more time for certain readiness
requirements. Specifically, proposed regulations would
allow applicants to assume public funding sources for
which they have applied but have not yet received
awards. In addition, applicants would not need to show
local entitlements by the application deadline. Instead,
applicants would have to provide local funding and
entitlement and environmental approvals by August 17,
2009. Entitlement and environmental approvals would
include the completion of an appeal
period. |
