AGENCY: 99-346 - Maine State Housing Authority (MSHA)
CHAPTER NUMBER AND TITLE: Ch. 16, Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Rule
PROPOSED RULE NUMBER: 2012-P102
BRIEF SUMMARY: Maine State Housing Authority, as the State’s designated housing credit agency, is required to adopt a qualified allocation plan for allocating and administering federal low income housing tax credits, including without limitation the State ceiling of federal low-income housing tax credits pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The proposed rule is the State’s qualified allocation plan for allocating and administering the federal low-income housing tax credits, including the 2013 State ceiling of federal low-income housing tax credits. The proposed rule repeals and replaces in its entirety the prior Chapter 16 of Maine State Housing Authority’s rules which was entitled Allocation of State Ceiling for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.
DETAILED BASIS STATEMENT / SUMMARY: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) requires Maine State Housing Authority (“MaineHousing”), as the State’s designated housing credit agency, to adopt a qualified allocation plan for allocating and administering federal low income housing tax credits (“Credit”), including without limitation the State ceiling of federal low-income housing tax credits (“State Ceiling”).
This rule repeals and replaces in its entirety the prior rule, entitled Allocation of State Ceiling for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Rule, which was the qualified allocation plan for allocating and administering the 2012 State ceiling of federal low income housing tax credits. This rule is the State’s qualified allocation plan for allocating and administering the federal low-income housing tax credits, including the 2013 State ceiling of federal low-income housing tax credits.
The primary priority in the selection process for federal low-income housing tax credits, including the 2013 State Ceiling, under this qualified allocation plan is cost containment. This priority is reflected in the new cap on total development costs of projects based on the type of project and new or modified scoring categories that incent lower development costs. A new category awards points to projects with lower total development costs relative to a certain benchmark, established based on historical MaineHousing data on the average costs of projects by project type, and deducts points for projects with higher total development costs relative to the benchmark. This new scoring category, as an individual scoring category, has the greatest impact on scoring. A former scoring category that awarded points for donated property or property purchased at nominal value has been expanded to award points for acquisition costs below the average purchase price for projects by type based on historical MaineHousing data to incent applicants to purchase properties at less than market value.
In addition, prior selection criteria that could increase the costs of projects have been removed or modified. The scoring criteria that incented a greater level of accessibility and the threshold requirement that projects provide free Internet service to residents in their units and a computer with Internet access in a common area have been removed. MaineHousing has eliminated MaineHousing’s Green Building Standards, adopted the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC) and revised and replaced the former Construction Services Design and Construction Manual. The maximum points awarded to projects with new project-based rental assistance have been slightly reduced to ensure these points do not offset the negative scoring impact on projects with higher total development costs. The new project-based rental assistance scoring category has also been modified to establish a minimum value of rental assistance to be eligible. In conjunction with these cost containment measures, MaineHousing is proposing a cost-saving change to its companion subsidy program; federal and state historic tax credit projects will not be eligible for subsidy from MaineHousing because these projects generate sufficient equity from the tax credits to pay for the development of a reasonably-priced historic project.
This rule makes other changes from the prior rule. The family housing scoring scoring category has been modified to give more flexibility to develop family housing without three or more bedroom units in areas of the State where there is no need. MaineHousing is proposing an associated change to its companion subsidy program to underwrite three or more bedroom units in family housing projects at the maximum tax credit rent for two-bedroom units plus $50.00. The housing for homeless set-aside has been removed because of a lack of demand for several years, and MaineHousing has other programs to serve this need. The prohibition against projects with existing Section 8 project-based rental assistance has been removed and the set-aside for preservation of existing Rural Development projects with project-based rental assistance has been modified to include projects with existing Section 8 project-based rental assistance and to increase the amount of the set-aside. Section 8 project-based rental assistance is a valuable resource to provide affordable housing to persons with the lowest income in the State. Historically, these projects have been funded under MaineHousing’s tax-exempt bond financing program and Credit without an allocation from the State Ceiling, but some existing Section 8 projects are not feasible under the tax-exempt financing program. The scoring criterion for projects located within 2500 feet of a downtown has been removed and the points under the scoring criteria for projects with 1500 feet of a designated pick-up location for fixed-route public transportation have increased. The rule requires all projects to provide smoke-free housing because of the health effects on non-smoking residents and the increased maintenance and other costs and risks associated with operating housing where smoking is allowed, and most residents prefer smoke-free housing. The target vacancy rate in the vacancy rate scoring category has been reduced to 5% to incent the development of housing in areas where there is more need. The service center community need scoring criteria have been updated to reflect the most recent available data. The rule makes other minor modifications, clarifications, grammatical changes and formatting improvements from the prior rule.

ADOPTED RULE NUMBER: 2012-159
CONCISE SUMMARY: This is a major substantive rule and will be final thirty days after it is filed. The legislature approved the rule for final adoption in 2011 Resolve ch. 161. In 2011, the Legislature amended 36 MRSA §2872 by increasing the tax on ICF-MRs from 5.5% to 6% via P. L. 2011, ch 411. This adopted rule permits an ICF-MR to obtain reimbursement of the full 6% tax, subject to CMS approval. The rule has a retroactive application with an effective date of January 1, 2012 (authorized under 22 MRSA §42(8) because this rule will benefit providers by increasing their reimbursement). This change is not expected to have an adverse economic impact on small businesses or municipalities and counties.
