NIFA will notify the applicant if they are CRANE eligible and if the CRANE Application has satisfied all the requirements under the CRANE Program, at which time the eligible applicant must submit a completed LIHTC Application via the online funding application system and the LIHTC Application fee must be received in NIFA’s office on or prior to the time periods specified by NIFA (as outlined in the LIHTC Allocation Plan for 9% LIHTCs and AHTCs).
