Mortgage Participation Certificate (MPC Program)

IHDA’s mortgage participation certificate (MPC) program is a taxable financing vehicle for new construction, acquisition, rehabilitation and/or the permanent financing of multifamily projects that have previously received an allocation of 9% low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC). Through the program, IHDA will originate and retain the mortgage note and sell (through a bidding process) an MPC representing a 100 percent ownership interest in that mortgage loan.

Program rules and guidelines

Authority rules governing the bond programs are found in the Illinois Administrative Code, Title 47, Chapter II, Part 310.
