July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023:

On December 9, 2022, DHCD published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Fall 2022 funding round (the "2022 NOFA") for housing and community development.

Under the NOFA, the following requests will be considered to support the acquisition/rehabilitation or new construction of affordable multifamily rental housing:

  • HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) or County Housing Investment Trust Fund (HITF) loans in an amount up to $2,500,000 per project in conjunction with the anticipated Spring 2023 State of Maryland Competitive Funding Round for projects seeking Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and other State funding sources.
  • DHCD will prioritize projects seeking 9% LIHTC but will consider making awards to projects seeking 4% LIHTC based on funding        priorities and available resources.
  • Payment in lieu of Taxes (PILOTs) requests will be reviewed on a project-by-project basis based on financial viability
  •  DHCD will determine the appropriate source of County funding for each project based on a variety of factors, including resource     availability and policy priorities.

 DHCD will consider applications outside of the NOFA timeframe for priority, time-sensitive projects that have secured necessary financing and are in a position to progress towards closing.  To be considered, please request a pre-application meeting with DHCD to discuss the project details, available resources, application process, legislative requirements, and schedule.  Submit your meeting request to Pamela Wilson, Housing Development Program Manager, at pawilson@co.pg.md.us
