MidWest@Work Strategy
First Quarter 2018 Status Update
OVERVIEW
With the financing of two more projects during the first quarter of 2018, the HIT has now invested $423 million in 20 projects and its subsidiary Building America CDE, Inc. (Building America) has provided $17.5 million in New Markets Tax Credits (NMTCs) to two additional projects since the inception of the strategy in early 2016. With $441 million invested in 22 projects, the strategy has reached over 40% of its $1.1 billion investment target in just two years. With nearly $1 billion in total development, it has built or preserved nearly 3,000 housing units, and created an estimated 4,200 union construction jobs and over 450 permanent jobs.
The HIT pledged to invest primarily in nine cities (Detroit, St. Louis, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Milwaukee, Saint Paul, and Minneapolis) and other Midwest communities and is implementing specific investment initiatives to address local economic development and revitalization needs. To date, investments have been made in five of the nine core markets: Detroit; St. Louis; Buffalo; Saint Paul; and Minneapolis; as well as in Chicago, Rolla, MO, Rochester, MN, and Duluth, MN. Working with selected developers, mortgage bankers, and housing finance agencies and continuing to broaden outreach to other market participants to identify additional projects, the HIT and its subsidiary Building America have built a strong pipeline of projects for the remainder of 2018 and into 2019. The projects on this pipeline include an additional three core markets.
A key part of MidWest@Work is connecting HIT’s investments with the broader economic revitalization of Midwestern cities, as it incorporates pre-apprenticeship training, single family home repair, and links with the creation of manufacturing and other permanent jobs, when possible, through investment by HIT subsidiaries.
MIDWEST@WORK PROJECTS TO DATE
Since the MidWest@Work Investment Strategy was implemented in 2016, the HIT has invested $423.2 million in 20 projects, and Building America has provided $17.5 million in New Markets Tax Credits to two additional projects. These 22 projects, with total development investment of $991 million, are creating or preserving 2,970 housing units and generating an estimated 8.4 million hours of union construction work (4,200 jobs). The total $440.7 million of HIT commitments and NMTCs provided by Building America represents over 40% of the $1.1 billion goal set for this seven-year initiative at its inception.

BUILDING AMERICA
Since its inception in 2010, Building America has helped rebuild low-income communities by creating jobs for community residents; sponsoring training and job-readiness programs that connect job opportunities to local residents; and building affordable housing and community facilities, including healthcare facilities. Two of Building America’s most recent projects are in MidWest@Work target cities – Detroit Manufacturing Systems in Detroit and Toledo, which received $8.5 million in New Markets Tax Credits (NMTCs) from Building America and Northland Central in Buffalo, which received a $9 million allocation. In February 2018, Building America was awarded its fourth allocation of NMTCs. This $55 million award was Building America’s largest allocation to date and brings its total allocation to $185 million. Building America’s current pipeline for the recent allocation includes several potential projects in the Midwest.
