Darin Edwards: Remembering our friend and colleague
This month was particularly difficult as we said goodbye to Darin Edwards, our dear friend and respected colleague. For those who knew him, Darin brought laughter and warmth along with a passion for community development. The lasting impact of his work can be seen across the state; a clear result of his efforts to collaborate with IHCDA partners to ensure that Hoosiers in need could access safe, affordable housing. We at IHCDA are honored to continue Darin's work, and keep his family and friends in our thoughts and prayers this holiday season.

Neighborhood Assistance Program Reminder
All 2015-16 NAP credit recipients should note that
the ‘Mid-Year Donor Contribution and Benchmark Report’ is due by the close of
business on December 4, 2015.
As covered in the NAP annual
training and program manual, this reporting deadline has been moved to early
December to expedite the re-allocation of returned NAP credits so that agencies
have more time to sell the additional tax credits before the April 1, 2016
deadline for the End of Year report. The information obtained in
this report will be used to determine which
agencies have met the benchmark of selling 60% of their NAP credits by the
November 30th deadline.
Any agency who has not sold at least 60% of their
credits will have their remaining credits de-allocated. These credits
will then be redistributed to agencies that have sold 100% of their credits and
requested re-allocation in the application period. This report will also
be used to send contributor information to the Indiana Department of Revenue so
that donors can claim their 2015 credits.
Please be sure that all
information is entered correctly; any inaccuracies in regards to personal
information and tax credit amounts can result in a denial of an individual’s
tax return. NAP recipients can access this report through their
designated login at www.IHCDAonline.com.
The reporting period to be used is July 1, 2015-November 30, 2015. Please
contact Brian Carman at bcarman@ihcda.in.gov
with any questions.
Indiana Housing Policy Summit - Join the conversation!
Despite representing 18% of Indiana’s GDP, housing is often absent from the larger debate over economic policies and long-term community stability and prosperity. As a result, IHCDA partnered with key stakeholders and housing leaders to develop the Inaugural Indiana Housing Policy Summit which will be held on December 11, 2015 at the Crowne Plaza in Indianapolis.
This one-day, conversation-style event will bring together national and industry leaders to discuss housing and economic policy recommendations to keep the state moving forward. Expected attendees include: realtors, developers and builders, title insurers, local housing officials, elected officials, grassroots activists, financial services industry professionals, closing attorneys and many others.
There is no cost to attend. However, space is limited so registration is required. Please note that "summit" is the password for online registration.
