12. Preservation Strategy Membership and Mission Membership and Mission • Establishes a 25% set-aside for Preservation, from the entirety of 9% LIHTC resources instead of within each region. • This draft QAP also continues to define preservation projects as those with federal project based rent assistance (meaning, not all portfolio projects); • We have had a lot of feedback that this reduction in the preservation set-aside is not preferable given the large scale of needs for preservation in Oregon. • Additionally we have had feedback that the need for preservation extends beyond these rent-assisted units. • QAP

Pre-Application Membership and Mission Membership and Mission • Intent of the pre-application: • Address any site-visit needs • Establish access to be able to submit application documents electronically • Provide early stats for applicants on: • Number of pre-applications in set-aside / region • Estimated range of costs / LIHTC of pre-applications in set-aside / regions • Number of pre-applications intending to do PSH • Range of location scoring factors for pre-applications • QAP
