WHO WE ARE

“We are creating certainty for developers to create construction and renovation jobs while increasing housing availability for more low-income families, veterans, seniors and individuals living with disabilities.” – Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-OH) 

 
  • MOWHA was incorporated in 2009 to advocate for affordable housing policy and to protect the state’s affordable housing incentives. Given current economic realities, state incentives often make possible residential development projects that would otherwise be infeasible. Each of the following programs serves an important social purpose in addition to their proven economic benefits.

    • Affordable Housing Assistance Program (AHAP)

    • Missouri Housing Trust Fund

    • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program

  • MOWHA works to protect these incentives which provide
    1) safe, quality housing to thousands of Missourians and
    2) family-supporting construction and construction-related jobs for countless others. We are committed to diversity and inclusion at every stage of the affordable housing process.
