MidWest@Work Strategy

Fall 2018 Status Update

OVERVIEW

The HIT has invested $584.5 million in 27 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 as part of its MidWest@Work strategy since its inception in 2016 through October 2018. With $602 million invested in 29 projects, the strategy has reached nearly 55% of its $1.1 billion investment target in less than three years. With over $1.2 billion in total development, it has built or preserved close to 4,100 housing units, and created an estimated 5,360 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 six of the nine core markets: Detroit; St. Louis; Buffalo; Cleveland; 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 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 core market.

A key part of MidWest@Work is connecting the 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.
