Portraits of the Human Spirit: A Sense of Place Portraits of the Human Spirit: A Sense of Place gallery presented by Tom Casalini at the 2016 Indiana Housing Conference. These 18 portraits depict residents from tax credit properties throughout Indiana in celebration of the 30-year anniversary of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program. To find out more about the residents you can visit the website here: http://www.jtsmith.net/miha/ If you have an iOS or Android device you can also download the Aurasma app. Just enter the word “Aurasma” into the search window in either the iTunes App Store or Google Play. After downloading, tap the app icon at the bottom and type “Indiana Housing Public Auras” and tap “Follow”. This will lead you on an interactive experience which will allow you to experience the exhibit to the fullest extent.

Ramp Up Indiana We are happy to congratulate Interlocal Community Action Program, Inc.  on receiving IHCDA’s first Ramp Up grant. This grant will be used to supply income-qualified Hoosiers with accessibility ramps to improve access to their homes. ICAP services Henry, Hancock, Rush, Fayette, and Wayne counties. If you are a homeowner in one of these counties, contact Holly Lee with questions or application requests.  If you have any programmatic questions, please contact Dani Miller.

Next Door Spaces The purpose of the Next Door Spaces program is two-fold. The first part of the program involves IHCDA taking inventory of the current stock of commercial space located within tax credit developments. The second part involves working with the Indiana Small Business Development Center (ISBDC) to connect building owners with local entrepreneurs and small business owners that are looking to open or expand their businesses. Owners of existing RHTC properties that contain vacant commercial space or who are developing RHTC properties that will contain commercial space can contact IHCDA’s Rental Housing Tax Credit Specialist. IHCDA will work to connect the owner with the appropriate regional Indiana Small Business Development Center (ISBDC) team member and engage in conversations around potential local partnerships.
