OHFA’s Board of Trustees allocated federal Affordable Housing Tax Credits and Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds at its November meeting. This allocation will generate 695 affordable housing units.
“The approved developments will benefit residents in both rural and urban communities,” said Deborah Jenkins, OHFA executive director. “Investment in these communities will have a far-reaching impact on Oklahoma’s low-income families and seniors.”
