The Connecticut Department of Housing (DOH), in collaboration with the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA), is inviting any Developer/Owner that is looking to apply for funding and/or other resources from DOH and/or CHFA for the new construction, substantial rehabilitation, and/or preservation of affordable housing in the next calendar year to participate in a new Development Engagement Process.
This process is intended to identify and to create a pipeline of potential activity for future funding opportunities including but not limited to new construction, substantial rehabilitation and/or preservation of affordable and supportive housing.
Developers/applicants should complete the DOH/CHFA Development Engagement Profile form, which describes the project, development or concept as it currently stands. There is no requirement to engage a consultant, prepare any formal documentation, obtain any approvals or expend any funds in order to complete and submit the DOH/CHFA Development Engagement Profile.
Submissions will be accepted via email 2020 through close of business on Monday March 23, 2020. Future submission opportunities are anticipated, but will be noticed at a future date, depending on the volume of submissions.
If you already have any of the additional materials identified on the profile, you are welcome to submit them along with the DOH/CHFA Development Engagement Profile; however, as previously indicated, these materials are not necessary.
Please also indicate if the development anticipates seeking four percent LIHTC’s. Please note, this process does not replace CHFA’s pre-application process for the nine percent LIHTC round.
Completed forms should be emailed to DOH.dev.engagement.profile@ct.gov.
Upon receipt of a DOH/CHFA Development Engagement Profile, developers/applicants will be contacted by DOH to schedule a face-to-face meeting with DOH and CHFA staff to discuss the proposed activity outlined.
Please direct any questions regarding the profile to Nathan Karnes at Nathan.karnes@ct.gov. For questions related to the process, please email them to Ivette Delgado at Ivette.delgado@ct.gov.
