IMPORTANT: 2022 BGF Round Update
The Ohio Housing Finance Agency (“OHFA”) received twice as many Exception Requests this year compared to last year in its annual Bond Gap Financing (“BGF”) round, which couples competitive gap financing with non-competitive 4% LIHTCs. These Exception Requests will ultimately correspond to over twice as many applications being received. Because of the unprecedented demand for BGF resources, OHFA is delaying its decisions on programmatic Exception Requests by one week, from this Friday, July 22nd to Friday, July 29th. This will ensure that OHFA can perform a comprehensive review of each request. As a corollary, OHFA is extending the deadline to submit Proposal Applications from Thursday, August 4th to Thursday, August 11th. No other deadlines listed in the BGF Program Calendar will be affected. We appreciate your patience as OHFA diligently reviews the increased number of requests.
