Waiver of Tenant Requirements in LIHTC Properties:
For certain Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties in a broad region of Eastern Washington, the Commission has waived certain tenant qualification requirements in order to remove barriers to housing people displaced by the wildfires. We are working with Spokane-area emergency response groups to determine how displaced families can connect to participating properties.
