Middle Income Housing Authority
Program Summary
The Middle Income Housing Authority (MIHA), established by SB22-232, (PDF) and amended by SB23-035, (PDF), is a special-purpose authority independent from the state whose purpose is to promote affordable rental housing projects for the middle-income workforce throughout Colorado. MIHA is currently administered by the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT).
The Authority is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate, with the addition of two non-voting members of the General Assembly. Rental units in MIHA projects must provide middle-income workforce housing, defined as 80% to 120% area median income (AMI) with stable rents. Some exceptions may be made to go above or below the AMI limits. The primary tools offered by MIHA include issuing bonds and entering into public-private partnerships. The MIHA Board of Directors makes all decisions for the Authority.
The Authority is a "public entity" and is a "special purpose authority" for the purpose of TABOR. To learn more about MIHA and to access important application information, dates, and events, please visit the Colorado Middle Income Housing Authority (MIHA) web page.
