Developer Resource Center
IHDA Connect
All projects seeking IHDA resources must submit a Preliminary Project Assessment (PPA) and application for review. PPAs and applications must be submitted electronically through IHDA Connect, IHDA’s document management web application. Sponsors must request a Project ID (PID) and an account to access IHDA Connect. Once assigned a PID for their project proposal and granted access to IHDA Connect, all documents must be uploaded electronically.
Please visit https://ppa.ihda.org to request an IHDA Connect account and PID. On this form, sponsors may list additional members of their development team who may be granted access to interact with the PID. Please allow up to three business days to receive confirmation that the account and/or PID has been created. Please reach out to IHDAconnecthelp@ihda.org if your request has not been completed within three business days.
Multifamily Document Library
Sponsors can access and download all supplemental documentation required to support and submit an IHDA resource request using the searchable document library below. Documentation listed in this table includes reference materials and submission documents needed to complete a PPA and application under various multifamily financing programs, including the 4% and 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Development Program.
The document library can be searched and sorted according to purpose, application, and process step of documents’ corresponding programs. Please reference the 2027-2028 Qualified Allocation Plan for full information regarding supplemental documents in IHDA’s LIHTC program and reach out to QAPFeedback@ihda.org to request assistance. The most recent version of each document must be used for PPA and application submissions unless otherwise noted.
