The FDIC established the Affordable Housing Disposition Program (AHP) to enhance its ability to sell single-family and multifamily properties that will benefit Low-Income families. In return for purchasing a property at a price below the fair market value, purchasers agreed to make units available to Low and Very Low-Income households at affordable rents. The rent and income restrictions are designed to ensure that the property serves families needing affordable housing.

AHC monitors compliance of FDIC properties in the state of Minnesota.

FDIC compliance can be broken down into 5 main categories:

  • 1 Qualifying Units
  • 2 Maximum Rent and Income Limits
  • 3 Tenant File Requirements
  • 4 Income and Asset Documentation
  • 5 Annual Reporting

New to FDIC?

Your goal is to rent a specific number of units at an affordable price to โ€œlow-incomeโ€ or โ€œvery low-incomeโ€ households. To accomplish this, you need to know the rent limit that determines an affordable rent and the income limit that defines a low and very low-income household. Next, you want to ensure the household has signed the required documents and that you have appropriately verified and documented income and assets. In addition, you are required to report the status of your property to AHC on an annual basis.

AHC is here to educate and guide you through this process! Our monitoring efforts are meant to assist property managers and owners by providing insight into performance and recommendations for program implementation improvement.
