Design, Construction & Regulatory Compliance

The Design, Construction & Regulatory Compliance Requirements (Requirements) have been developed to provide development teams, receiving Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA, or Authority) resources, a reference document outlining IHDA’s requirements for the design and construction of high-quality affordable housing, including new construction, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. The Requirements are intended to be used when submitting applications for IHDA programs including 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), 4% LIHTC and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). The Design, Construction & Regulatory Compliance team will use the Requirements as a reference when reviewing the submitted property due diligence documents, project scope documents, design, and construction documents, and when monitoring the progress of construction.
