INFORMATION BULLETIN No. 01‐11
Selection of Project Awards
Projects will be selected for SSP funding by a competitive process through which applications are scored.
Applications that have met all applicable threshold requirements will be competitively scored with the
highest scoring applications receiving awards until available funds are exhausted. Scored applications
will be kept on file for one year and the next highest scoring application will be funded only if funding
becomes available through recapture or de‐obligated CDBG funds sufficient to award the additional
project.
The goals of the rating system are as follows:
• Ensure fairness in competition for the grants;
• Increase the objectivity of the reviews; and
• Provide grantees with more information on how to write a competitive application.
The application rating system places additional emphasis on: targeting the most impoverished areas and
determining the need for the activity; past performance of the applicant and/or administrating agency;
and cost effectiveness of the project.
The SSP Rating Tool along with the completeness review form can be obtained from the ADOH website
at: http://www.azhousing.gov/ShowPage.aspx?ID=387&CID=16
Please review this NOFA, the Rating Tool, Completeness Form, and the CDBG Grant Application Review
Forms (pp. 183‐210 of the CDBG Application Handbook) to ensure that your application has supplied all
relevant information under each criterion and may obtain the maximum points available to your type of
project.
Selection Notification
ADOH anticipates notifying all applicants within 90 days of application deadline as to whether they will
be funded or not. Applicants approved for funding should be prepared to initiate projects within 30 days
of notification.
Upon request, both funded and unfunded applicants will have the opportunity to review their
application’s scoring with ADOH staff in order to increase their competitiveness in subsequent
application and funding processes.
Maximum Grant Amount
The maximum grant available including administrative funding under this notice is $300,000. Funds
unexpended at contract termination shall be returned to ADOH.

NOTICE OF FINAL UTILITY ALLOWANCE GUIDELINES
FOR LOW‐INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES

On December 6, 2010, the Arizona Department of Housing (“ADOH”) issued Information Bulletin No.
17‐10 requesting public comments on proposed guidelines to be adopted regarding utility allowances
for Low‐Income Housing Tax Credit properties. This bulletin releases the final guidelines which have
been adopted by ADOH, effective immediately.
Additional clarifications and requests for a copy of public comments received in response to
Information Bulletin No. 17‐10, should be directed to Carol Ditmore, Assistant Deputy
Director|Operations, (602) 771‐1000, carol.ditmore@azhousing.gov.

STATE OF ARIZONA UTILITY ALLOWANCE GUIDELINES
FOR LOW‐INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES
Effective January 31, 2011
¶1
To maintain compliance with program requirements, Low‐Income Housing Tax Credit
(“LIHTC”) properties must demonstrate that the utility allowance charged for a rent‐restricted unit
complies with one of the methods described in the Utility Allowance Regulation. In the event that
the Arizona Department of Housing (“ADOH”) determines that the utility allowance does not
comply with the Utility Allowance Regulation, including but not limited to tenant notification and
deadline requirements, ADOH will issue a Form 8823 reporting to the I.R.S. that the unit does not
qualify as a “rent‐restricted unit” as required by the LIHTC Program.
¶2
Although the Utility Allowance Regulation allows it to do so, due to budget constraints
ADOH does not prepare an “agency estimate” described by Treas. Reg. 1.42‐10(b)(ii)(4)(C).
¶3
Utility allowances determined by the local PHA shall be the utility allowances for rent‐
restricted units as long as the owner has not obtained a utility allowance estimate based on one of
the remaining methods: the utility company estimate, or an estimate based on the HUD Utility
Schedule Model, or an estimate of based on the Energy Consumption Model. The costs of any of
these methods are the responsibility of the Owner or other interested proponent. These remaining
methods are only available for buildings that have completed the entire first year of the credit
period.
¶4
Owners that obtain a utility company estimate, the HUD Utility Schedule Model estimate,
or the Energy Consumption Model estimate must provide a copy of the relevant estimate to ADOH
and make the estimate available to tenants. In addition, the owner’s submittal to ADOH must
include a narrative description of the date and manner that the estimate is made available to tenants.
The narrative description must be signed by a person with authority to bind the owner. Owners
must keep the original estimate and evidence of dissemination of the estimate in its files located at
the LIHTC property.
¶5
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the utility allowance is determined and
charged to tenants in accordance with the LIHTC Program. Submittal of a utility allowance
estimate to ADOH shall not be understood as approval or other recommendation by ADOH that an
estimate complies with the requirements of the LIHTC Program.
¶6
The utility allowance estimate obtained by the owner shall be the utility allowance charged
to tenants of rent‐restricted units. However, the utility allowance shall not be effective until 90 days
after the estimate is provided to ADOH and made available to the tenants.
¶7
The information used in any estimate must comply with the aging requirements of the
Utility Allowance Regulation.

LIHTC PROGRAM Utility Allowance Guidelines | January 31, 2011

1

¶8
For utility allowances based on the HUD Utility Schedule Model, ADOH does not review
the estimate for accuracy or whether the use of the HUD Utility Schedule is correct. Nevertheless,
the accuracy and appropriate use of the HUD Utility Schedule is the responsibility of the owner.
Based on its review of annual reports or on‐site monitoring of a property, ADOH may issue I.R.S.
Form 8823 if it concludes that a unit is not rent‐restricted due to errors or misuse of the HUD Utility
Schedule Model. ADOH will consider a certification of a licensed professional engineer or a
qualified professional energy rater or auditor that the HUD Utility Schedule Model estimate is true
and correct.
¶9
The Energy Consumption Model may be used by a building owner to calculate utility
allowance estimates based on an analysis of energy, water and sewage consumption. The Energy
Consumption Model must, at a minimum, take into account specific factors including, but not
limited to, unit size, building orientation, design and materials, building age, mechanical systems,
appliances, and characteristics of the building location.
¶10
Utility allowances based on the Energy Consumption Model shall be prepared by a
professional engineer licensed to practice in Arizona or some other qualified professional. ADOH
considers energy raters and auditors who are certified and currently in good standing with
Residential Energy Services Network (“RESNET”) to be “qualified professionals” for the purposes of
the Utility Allowance Regulation. Owners using professionals who are not RESNET‐certified raters
or auditors must demonstrate to the satisfaction of ADOH that the professional otherwise meets
comparable qualifications. Furthermore, the professional engineer or energy rater or auditor must
not be related to the building owner, property manager or any other entities owned or controlled by
these parties within the meaning of Sections 267(b) or 707(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. In
addition to the materials described in ¶4, above, Owners who obtain estimates based on the Energy
Consumption Model shall provide ADOH with documentary evidence that the estimate was
prepared by a licensed professional engineer or other qualified professional consistent with the
requirements of this paragraph. See, ¶ 12, below.
¶11
ADOH will not provide formal approval of any particular utility plan submitted, but will
issue a letter verifying receipt of the estimate. If ADOH has concerns about the estimate it may
request additional information. Reasons for concern would be the adequacy of documentation of the
qualifications of the professional who completed the estimate, or of the availability of the estimate to
tenants. Future compliance monitoring will include whether the utility allowances are charged in
accordance with an estimate authorized by the Utility Allowance Regulation, the timing of
implementation of the new utility allowance after the estimate was obtained, review of tenant
notifications regarding the utility allowance, and documentation of annual review and updates, if
any, to the allowance.
¶12
Documentation of the qualifications of the professional rater for the purposes of the Energy
Consumption should include the following:
a) For a professional engineer licensed to practice in Arizona:
1) The estimate should bear a professional stamp demonstrating licensure as a professional
engineer by the State of Arizona; or

LIHTC PROGRAM Utility Allowance Guidelines | January 31, 2011

2

2) Estimates bearing the professional stamp of an engineer licensed in a state other than
Arizona must be accompanied by supporting documentation demonstrating that the
engineer is authorized to practice in Arizona.
b) For an energy rater or auditor:
1) Documentation of current status as a RESNET rater‐member; or
2) Documentation that the energy rater or auditor meets all of the following comparable
qualifications:
i.

Completed training that is similar in all material respects to the RESNET training
syllabus;

ii. Successful completion of the RESNET National Rater Test;
iii. Performance of at least three energy ratings under the supervision of a person with
three or more years of experience as a certified rater. (Supporting documentation
must include the names and addresses and contact information of the persons for
whom the energy ratings were performed and the personal resume of each
supervising rater).
¶13
Regardless of the method adopted, a building owner must review at least once during each
calendar year the basis on which utility allowances have been established and must update the
applicable utility allowance in accordance with Treas. Reg. 1.42‐10(c)(1). The review must take into
account any changes to the building such as any energy conservation measures that affect energy
consumption and changes in utility rates. Once a particular method (utility company estimate,
HUD Utility Schedule Model, or Energy Consumption Model) applies to a unit, the owner may not
change to a different methodology except as the result of the owner’s annual review of utility
allowances in the following calendar year. Although the review process begins in advance, in no
event may an owner change the utility allowance for a unit more than once in a twelve‐month
period.
¶14
In the event that the owner commissions an estimate based on the Energy Consumption
model, the same method must be used for a particular utility service provider for all units of a
LIHTC project that are served by that utility service provider.
¶15
Utility allowances determined in accordance with revised Treas. Reg. 1.42‐10 may be
effective on or after January 1, 2009.

RE:
CHANGE TO ANNUAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR
LOW‐INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROJECTS

Low‐Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) project owners are required to submit an Annual Report to
ADOH each year of the compliance period as defined in the Declaration of Affirmative Land Use and
Restrictive Covenants Agreement (LURA). LIHTC Annual Reports are due annually on March 15th for the
preceding calendar year. This year, the form and manner in which the LIHTC Annual Reports should be
submitted has been changed.
In an attempt to move to a more automated system, and to meet recent changes in Federal reporting
requirements, ADOH has created an LIHTC Annual Report Workbook in an EXCEL format for reporting
continued tax credit compliance for the 2010 calendar year. The LIHTC Annual Report Workbook is to be
downloaded, completed, and submitted in both hard copy and electronically on CD to ADOH by March 15,
2011.
On the INSTRUCTIONS tab of the LIHTC Annual Report Workbook, you will find that ADOH has
created a guide that outlines the documents required and provides instruction on how to complete the
report correctly. Required documents that must be submitted include the Owner’s Certificate of Continuing
Program Compliance (Exhibit A) and its attachments, the Rental Schedule (Exhibit B) and its attachments,
Audited Financial Statements (see next paragraph), and new this year for mixed‐income properties, an
Applicable Fraction per Building Report (Exhibit C), and a Special Commitments Report (Exhibit D).
If already required by a syndicator or other partner, Audited Financial Statements must be submitted to
ADOH. If financial statements are not audited, owners may submit un‐audited statements and must
include a signed certification testifying that audited financials are not performed on the project.

For FY 2010 and FY2011, the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) expects to allocate

The goals of the rating system are as follows:
• Ensure fairness in competition for the grants;
• Increase the objectivity of the reviews; and
• Provide grantees with more information on how to write a competitive application.
The application rating system places additional emphasis on: targeting the most impoverished
areas and low‐moderate income communities; determining the need for the activity; past
performance of the applicant and/or administrating agency; and cost effectiveness of the project.
The Colonias Set Aside Rating Tool form along with instructions for using the rating tool and a
completeness review form can be obtained from the ADOH website at:
http://www.azhousing.gov/ShowPage.aspx?ID=449&CID=16.
Please review this NOFA, the rating tool, completeness form, and the CDBG Grant Application
Review Forms (pp. 183‐210 of the CDBG Application Handbook) to ensure that your application
has supplied all relevant information under each criterion and may obtain the maximum points
available to your type of project.
Selection Notification
ADOH anticipates notifying all applicants within 60 days of application deadline as to whether
they will be funded or not. Applicants approved for funding should be prepared to initiate
projects within 90 days of execution of the funding agreement.
Upon request, both funded and unfunded applicants will have the opportunity to review their

The maximum grant available including administrative funding under this notice cannot exceed
the total amount of the Colonias Set Aside for FY2010/2011 as determined by HUD thru its
formula allocation to the State of Arizona. Funds unexpended at contract termination shall be
returned to ADOH.
Should the FY2011 CDBG allocation not be announced by HUD prior to the colonias application
deadline, ADOH will award only the FY2010 Colonias Set Asidefunds and therefore the
maximum grant available including administrative funding cannot exceed the total amount of
the Colonias Set Aside for FY2010.

Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

INFORMATION BULLETIN No. 18-11
ISSUED:
RE:

July 14, 2011
LIHTC Compliance Manual Release

Information Bulletin 18-11 announces the release of the newly updated Low-Income Housing Tax
Credit property Compliance Manual.
This manual is a training and reference guide for compliance with requirements for properties
financed through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC or “Housing Credit”) Program. It is
designed to answer many questions regarding procedures, rules and regulations that govern LIHTC
developments and should be a useful resource for owners and developers, management companies
and on-site management personnel.
This manual is to be used as a supplement to the existing laws and rules prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service (the “IRS”) in Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. This
manual should not be considered a complete guide on compliance. The responsibility for compliance
with federal LIHTC Program regulations lies with the owner of the building(s) for which the Housing
Credit is allowable. If a determination is made that any provision of this manual is in conflict with
Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Internal Revenue Code will govern.
Because of the complexity of LIHTC regulations and the necessity to consider their applicability to
specific circumstances, owners are urged to seek competent legal and accounting advice regarding
compliance issues. This Agency’s obligation to monitor for compliance with the requirements of
Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code does not make it liable for an owner’s noncompliance
(Treasury Regulations, section 1.42-5(g)).
The Compliance Manual is available for download on the Forms and Handbooks page of our website,
www.azhousing.gov.
Questions with regard to this bulletin should be directed to Lisa Troy, Housing Compliance
Administrator, (602) 771-1071 or lisa.troy@azhousing.gov.

2011 Information Bulletin
REGARDING PROGRAMS: State Housing Fund Programs
REGARDING FUNDING SOURCES: Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)

INFORMATION BULLETIN No. 19‐11
ISSUED:
September 1, 2011
RE:
Notice of Funding Availability for State Housing Funds
Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation
NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY
The Arizona Department of Housing (the Department) is pleased to announce a Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA) for funding through the State Housing Fund (SHF), HOME
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). This NOFA is for housing rehabilitation programs
for owner occupied single family dwellings. For FY2012, the Department expects to allocate
approximately $3,000,000.00 in SHF. The SHF will be allocated through one competitive
funding round and the application submission deadline is January 13, 2012 at 4:00 p.m.
The Application process for SHF can be found in the SHF Program Summary and Application
Guide. The guide can be downloaded from the ADOH website at: www.azhousing.gov.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The mission of the Department is to “provide housing and community revitalization to benefit
the people of Arizona.” The Owner Housing Objective for FY2012 is:


Preserve and improve the long‐term life of existing affordable owner occupied
housing stock

In support of this Objective, the Department will allocate HOME funds to activities that
improve the condition of housing units to meet the following standards:




State’s Rehabilitation Standards.
Local codes, zoning and ordinances, or if no Local code exists, meet model building
codes.
Newly reconstructed units must meet Model Energy Code and Energy Star
standards.

1

The funding process can be found in the SHF Program Summary and Application Guide which
includes information regarding:
1. Completeness review.
2. Threshold review.
3. Scoring.
4. Financial and Technical review.
5. Funding review.
Eligible Activities
Rehabilitation of owner‐occupied housing units, including:


Reconstruction
When the cost to rehabilitate the existing housing unit is in excess of the cost to replace the unit,
then reconstruction is an eligible activity. Reconstruction is eligible to the extent that the
replacement unit will be situated on the same property as the existing unit and the replacement
unit is substantially the same as the existing unit, except when a larger or smaller unit is
necessary to comply with property standards or local zoning, codes or ordinances.
Reconstruction includes replacement of existing manufactured housing. Unit being replaced
must be demolished and removed from the property receiving assistance.
 Refinancing
Refinancing existing debt that is secured by the existing housing unit is an eligible activity in
conjunction with rehabilitation only if State funds loaned for rehabilitation and refinancing will
result in a lower overall housing cost than would result from any other combination of loans.

For example:
A homeowner is seeking rehabilitation assistance. They have an outstanding principal balance
on their first mortgage of $30,000, at 10% interest, with a monthly payment of $263. The cost of
rehabilitation is $15,000. The rehabilitation agency is offering a rehabilitation loan at 4% for a
20‐year term, with a monthly cost to the homeowner of $91. The monthly payments for both
loans would total $354, making participation in the rehabilitation program a financial burden
for the homeowner. Using State funds to refinance the first mortgage and include the
rehabilitation loan would result in a monthly payment of $273, a lower overall housing cost.
Ineligible Activities
The following activities are ineligible:
 Emergency Repair or Single purpose rehabilitation, such as weatherization or accessibility
when the unit will not comply with property standards after rehabilitation; however,
accessibility, for example, can be a component of the rehabilitation.

Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants are limited to:



Units of local government, including cities, towns and counties.
Tribal governments; tribally designated housing entities; and tribal housing authorities.
2





Public Housing Authorities.
Regional Councils of Government.
Non‐Profit Agencies, including Community Housing Development Organizations
(CHDOs).

All applicants must be authorized to conduct business in Arizona.

Eligible Beneficiaries
All assisted homeowners must meet the following guidelines:
 Have an annual gross income that does not exceed 80 percent of the area median income
adjusted by household size.
 The household must be income eligible at the time the rehabilitation commitment is made to
the homeowner.
 Certify that they occupy the property as their principal and only residence.
Eligible Property Types
The following property types are eligible:
 Single‐family (one‐unit structures).
 Condominium units.
 Manufactured housing only if the unit upon completion will be:
 located on a permanent foundation (requires certification) and is connected to
permanent utility hook‐ups;
 is located on land that is held in fee‐simple title, or long‐term ground lease with a
term of at least 99 years (50 years for tribal land);
 meets the construction standards of 24 CFR 3280 if manufactured after June 15,
1976; or, meets applicable local and/or state codes if manufactured prior to June
15, 1976; and
 meets all other requirements of Chapter 5 of the SHF Program Summary and
Application Guide.
Eligible Assistance Types
The following types of assistance to income qualified, owner occupant beneficiaries are eligible:
 Deferred payment loans.
 Non‐interest bearing loans.
 Interest‐bearing loans; or
 Due on sale, transfer or non‐owner occupancy.
Any of the above loan types may be forgiven upon the death of a sole owner occupant
beneficiary. Please refer to Chapter 5 of the FY 2012 SHF Program Summary and Application
Guide for further information.
Maximum Applicant Funding
The maximum limit of HOME funding available per application is $300,000. An additional 10%
(up to $30,000) in general administrative funding thru the Housing Trust Fund is also available
for a total maximum application funding of $330,000.00. Only one application request per
applicant will be considered for funding.
3

Maximum Investment per Unit
The maximum investment per unit for rehabilitation or refinance with rehabilitation is $50,000
and the maximum investment per unit for full replacement of either Mobile Home or Stick Built
is $75,000.00. Maximum investment limits include administration, project soft costs and project
hard costs that are attributable to a specific individual assisted property. HTF funded general
administrative costs are not included the per unit investment limits.
Application and Threshold Review Criteria
The review criterion is set forth in Chapters 2 and 5 of the SHF Program Summary Application
Guide available on the ADOH website at: www.azhousing.gov.
Competitive Funding Determinations
The SHF Application must meet the SHF eligibility, application review, and threshold criteria.
Award of SHF is subject to the availability of the funds provided to the Department for the SHF
Program. Competitive funding criteria are utilized to make funding decisions. Only
applications that meet thresholds are competitively scored. Competitive funding criteria can be
found in Chapter 2 of the SHF Program Summary and Application Guide.
The competitive scoring process for Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation programs for this
NOFA gives focus to those programs serving low income elderly persons or very low income
persons who are at or below 50% of area median income populations.
Funding Notification
The Department will make every effort to make its funding decisions within 90 days,
depending on the number and complexity of the applications received.
Technical Assistance
The Department will not preview, comment on, or pre‐judge any element of any application
prior to its initial submittal. A limited amount of assistance is available regarding the

available on the ADOH website at: www.azhousing.gov.

of funds will be awarded. Applicants should plan their projects under the assumption that the more
restrictive federal HOME funds may be provided.
Funding Determinations
The SHF Application must meet the SHF eligibility, application review, and underwriting criteria.
Award of SHF is subject to the availability of the funds provided to the Department for the SHF program
(federal HOME and state HTF). Competitive funding criteria can be found in Chapter 2 of the SHF
Program Summary and Application Guide.
Funding Notification
The Department will make every effort to make its funding decisions within 60 days, depending on the
number and complexity of the applications received.
Technical Assistance
The Department is available to answer any questions regarding the SHF program and the requirements
for application submittal.
Application Submission
Applicants must complete their application packages as described under Application Format, completing
all required sections and required supporting documentation, submitting one original and one copy.
Additional information received after the February 1st deadline will not be accepted for scoring purposes.
Application Format
