The Wyoming Community Development Authority (WCDA) administers Multi-Family Development financing through the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF), and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. These programs support safe, sanitary, affordable housing across Wyoming, including new rental construction, acquisition and rehabilitation, conversion, and reconstruction.
HOME traditionally provides gap financing as long-term, low-interest debt, while LIHTC provides development equity through credit syndication. NHTF supports rental housing for extremely low-income households. WCDA uses state and local Consolidated Plans to identify housing priorities. Its allocation principles include fair geographic distribution, responsibility to low-income households, efficient use of resources, and sustaining long-term partnerships.
