Do you or your company have a Minnesota tax liability? You can turn that debt into a tax credit and support Habitat for Humanity of Douglas County to build more homes in our county.
Contributions to various Minnesota projects for 2024 have met the state limit of $9.9M!
While the program is no longer accepting contributions for 2024, the program will re-open in 2025. More information will be posted as new dates are published.
What is the Minnesota State Housing Tax Credit Contribution Program (SHTC)?
The Minnesota legislature passed a bill to incentivize taxpayers to support affordable housing projects. Eligible Minnesota corporate and individual taxpayers can contribute to the SHTC Program fund, and, in return, receive a state Tax Credit Certificate (TCC) that equals 85% of their total contributions.
What is the minimum and maximum contribution?
The required minimum contribution is $1,000 with a maximum of $2 million per taxable year.
When can I make a contribution?
Act now to take advantage of this fund. The program is limited to granting $9.9 million in 2024. Once the credits are claimed, it will be closed for the remainder of the year. Funds are first-come, first-serve.
