2010

In the AHA’s annual Catalyst Implementation plan for 2010 it proposes use of AHA “MTW Funds” to provide “Gap funding” to encourage redevelopment of former housing projects, Gap funding was proposed due to the decline in value of tax credits in preceding years and investor market’s hesitancy to invest in volatile market of tax credits[1]

AHA and their “private sector development partners”[2] are “working to close four mixed-income, mixed-finance transactions to advance the revitalization plans for Harris and Grady Homes”[3]
