Supporting Residential Housing Development

Invest Atlanta assists with the financing of residential housing developments.

Residential Housing Incentives

One of Invest Atlanta’s core competencies is real estate finance, and we administer several loan programs for the development of workforce housing.

Tax Exempt Bond Financing

Tax exempt bonds are issued by the Urban Residential Finance Authority (the Housing Finance group of Invest Atlanta) to assist with the accomplishment of growth in multifamily housing.

Structure

URFA is empowered to issue tax exempt bonds to make below market interest rate mortgage loans to developers for rental housing provided Internal Revenue Service section 142 requirements are met to ensure that a percentage of the rental units benefit low and moderate-income renters.

URFA每年都从GA社区事务部获得免税债券拨款. URFA serves as a conduit bond issuer. 债券以先到先得的方式发行. There is no maximum amount of bonds that can be allocated to a single development. Eligible projects must be located within the city of Atlanta.

根据本计划分配的任何免税债券资金必须用于为开发提供永久性融资. The allocation is not intended for short-term financing, or “bridge” financing, or any refinancing, which is not the permanent financing for the development; however, 它可以用于建设融资,并在一定条件下由其他来源取出.

Atlanta Beltline Affordable Housing Trust Fund (BAHTF)

The Atlanta City Council created a BAHTF to promote the creation and preservation of affordable housing within the Beltline neighborhoods.

Structure

Affordable housing is a critical component of the Beltline development. Grant funds from BAHTF add a necessary, flexible and unprecedented tool to Atlanta’s affordable housing toolkit. These funds can be combined with other affordable housing programs and city incentives and leveraged with private dollars to construct or renovate affordable housing units in the city. The goal of the BAHTF is to create a balanced mix of rental and owner occupied housing units and to encourage the distribution of affordable housing around the beltline.

These grants will be provided to non-profit and for profit multifamily developers offering affordable workforce housing rental units along the Atlanta BeltLine. Grant funds may be used to finance acquisition, construction or renovation of multifamily housing for families at or below 60% of Area Median Income (as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development). These grants to developers are enforced by a Land Use Restriction Agreement (LURA). The total amount of the grant dollars may not exceed 30% of the total development costs with a cap of $2 million per multifamily development. 发展商须从其他来源获得额外融资,以完成发展项目.

项目涉及非营利性组织与营利性合作伙伴和投资者的组合, adhere to the Atlanta BeltLine Design Guidelines, 为市价30%或以下的人士提供负担得起的出租单位,并向公务员(市, county, 亚特兰大公立学校员工和亚特兰大市居民将优先考虑.

The program components of the BAHTF include

  • Multifamily Rental Developer Incentives
  • Single Family Developer Incentives
  • Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) Set-aside for Multifamily Rental
  • 社区房屋发展机构(CHDO)为独户自置居所预留的款项     

Grants are available to multifamily, single family and CHDO developers from the Beltline Affordable Housing Trust Fund to finance multifamily and single family developments along the Beltline.

BAHTF资金将只授予那些没有公共补贴在经济上不可行的开发项目. The amount of funding granted to a specific development may reflect an award of less than 100% of the requested amount based on the assessment of financial need made by Invest Atlanta and other factors as determined by Invest Atlanta.
