Due Date for NCHMA Certification April 30, 2018

As of January 1, 2018, all firms and individuals that wish to submit market studies for any program administered by IHCDA will be required to be members of NCHMA and to be certified by them.

Because it can take 6 to 8 weeks to receive the certification from NCHMA, IHCDA extended the time frame for Market Study Providers to become certified to April 30, 2018. IHCDA is in frequent contact with NCHMA and will receive updates from them as to newly certified firms. Any questions about the certification process should be directed to NCHMA. Should you have any questions about this notice, please contact Jerri Bain at 317-233-6667 or jbain@ihcda.in.gov.

IHCDA Celebrates 40 Years On March 9th, 2018 we celebrated our 40th anniversary as an agency! Our Executive Director, Jake Sipe, shared his excitement and optimism about the agency's future with the following sentiments: "As we celebrate our 40th anniversary an agency, our commitment to improving the lives of Hoosiers and the communities in which they live remains. It's astounding to think of the lives this agency has touched in the 40 years since its inception. And I can't wait to see what IHCDA will continue to do for our fellow Hoosiers in the months and years ahead!"
