Affordable Housing Incentive Program - Dec 15th Deadline
 
To support owners committed to protecting and preserving affordable rental units, the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), through the City’s Housing Trust Fund, has launched the next application cycle for the Saint Paul 4d Affordable Housing Incentive Program.
To receive this tax reduction, property owners must commit at least a 20% share of their property’s units to a 10-year period of rent limits and tenant income restrictions. Restrictions are tied to either 50% or 60% of the metropolitan Area Median Income (or “AMI”). In exchange for agreeing to rent ands tenant income limits, enrollment in the 4d Program qualifies properties for the 4d tax clasification, also known as Minnesota's Low Income Rental Classification (LIRC). Qualification for the 4d rate results in a property tax reduction tied to specific units enrolled in the program.
Apply now through Friday, December 15, 2023. Properties must meet program eligibility requirements as outlined on the website and in the 4d Program Guidelines.
Learn more and apply online at stpaul.gov/4d or contact 4d program staff at 4d@stpaul.gov.
