MVP

My Voice Portal

IHCDA has officially launched a new initiative called My Voice Portal (MVP).   

MVP is an online form that any IHCDA partner can fill out to provide feedback on a specific IHCDA policy, process, or form.  Partners must identify themselves, identify a program and specific item they are commenting on, provide a narrative explaining why this is an issue, and suggest a proposed solution.  The purpose of MVP is to give partners a more official method of submitting feedback and to emphasize that we welcome constructive comments throughout the year, not just when specific funding policies are out for public comment.

We hope you will utilize MVP so we may better assist you!

The studio, one and two bedroom apartments are located in the historic Culver Union Hospital Building.

This project was funded in part using the 2014A-C Tax Credit round. The 56 units were developed by Flaherty & Collins.

Crawford Apartments II

Crawford Apartments II

On November 28th IHCDA took part in the groundbreaking celebration for Crawford Apartments II in Bloomington.

Please welcome IHCDA's New Chief Financial Officer  - Craig Wells

Hoo! Hoo! Hoosiers!).  Most of my career has been in banking and finance, including stints at Fifth Third Bank and JPMorgan Chase, but I also served as CEO of the Franklin Development Corporation for several years.  My most recent job was Chief Financial Officer for an aviation firm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
