OHFA is upgrading its File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site used for the submission of LIHTC and other multifamily housing applications. Developers submitting projects in the upcoming 9% LIHTC round will be required to upload their application(s) via a new Web site address. The previous FTP site address, Transfer.ohiohome.org, will no longer remain active.

In order to secure access to the upgraded FTP site, developers must submit a FTP Registration Form online via this link. Only one contact person per developer will be allowed access the FTP Site. Once registration is completed, OHFA will send login credentials to the updated FTP site.

Registration must be completed no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Wednesday, February 1, 2023.

As a reminder, 9% LIHTC Proposal Applications must be fully uploaded to the FTP site no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, February 9^th. If you have any questions, please e-mail MultifamilyFTP@ohiohome.org. We look forward to your application submissions and hope that the updated FTP site will provide enhanced user experience.
