CohnReznick’s Annual Affordable Housing Conference brings together the leading developers (not-for-profit and for-profit), investors, and agencies/housing authorities active in providing affordable housing throughout the country. The convening will showcase and educate attendees on successful projects that expand beyond the traditional housing model through tax credit financing. Innovative connections, such as with healthcare, can help strengthen and uplift housing efforts. It is within that spirit of new opportunities that this year’s conference will focus.
Primary areas of discussion will include the intersection of housing and healthcare including the success it is having when developers partner with hospitals and healthcare providers. The successes of supportive services, such as education in addition to healthcare, will be highlighted in addition to other business aspects developers and investors are facing in affordable housing, the LIHTC program, and the future of housing in America.

The current round for Maryland Affordable Housing Trust Grant Awards opened on July 1 and runs to August 31.
Funds are awarded as loans or grants based upon the financial structure needed to make the project viable. Although MAHT reserves the right to make its funding available as interest bearing loans, funding for project-specific capacity building, operating expenses, and support services are generally made as grants. Funding for pre-development costs is generally repayable upon the closing of permanent financing for a project. Funding for capital costs is offered as deferred-payment loans or recoverable grants payable if the project is sold and/or ceases to be used for low-income occupancy.
MAHT allocates up to 15% of its funds for capacity building and pre-development costs, with the balance allocated for capital costs and operating and supportive services. The maximum award amount is $75,000. The Board of Trustees determines whether funds are to be awarded as loans or grants based upon a financial analysis of the project.
