SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
CEDAM is
gathering a group to discuss the recent bills that were
introduced by Representative Tobocman, HB 5437, 5438, and 5439 on property tax
reductions for supportive housing. We understand that
this is an important issue for several of our members and
we would like to get our members' opinions
on the bills. If you would like to be a part
of this discussion please contact Alicia, by Monday,
January 7th.
NEW MARKET TAX CREDITS
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's CDFI Fund recently announced the
opening of the sixth round of competition for tax credits on
$3.5 billion of equity investments under the New Markets Tax
Credit (NMTC) Program.
Those interested in learning how to apply for an
allocation of NMTCs in the upcoming 2008 round of the NMTC
Program, including how to apply for certification as a Community Development
Entity (CDE), can do so by either attending the
Application Workshop held from 9:00 a.m. -
Noon in Detroit on Monday, January 7,
2008 at the Sheraton Detroit Riverside
Hotel. The registration form can be found here. Please take

Those unable to make it to the workshop on Monday can
attend the workshop webcast. This will be broadcast live on
January 16, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. The necessary link to the webcast will be made
available on the CDFI Fund's website the morning of the day of
