investment of land, buildings, materials, cash or services for an affordable housing
project approved by the authority or for a trust fund administered by the authority. The
value of the voucher shall equal fifty percent of the amount of cash invested or the fair
market value of the land, buildings, materials or services invested by that person. The
authority may approve an investment voucher for any affordable housing project in
accordance with Subsection B of this section and in accordance with rules adopted by
the authority. An investment voucher that is approved for an affordable housing project
shall equal fifty percent of the amount of cash invested or the fair market value of land,
buildings, materials or services invested in that affordable housing project by a person
upon issuance of that investment voucher.

($200,000) in aggregate value;
(2) beginning on January 1, 2007, the authority may issue or approve
investment vouchers in an amount that shall not exceed five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000) in aggregate value; and
(3) beginning on January 1, 2008 and during each subsequent calendar year,
the authority may issue or approve investment vouchers for each calendar year in an

cents ($1.85) adjusted annually to account for inflation, multiplied by the state
population during the calendar year as determined by the United States census bureau.
C.
Any limitation on the issuance or approval of investment vouchers for a calendar
year pursuant to Subsection B of this section shall not apply to an investment voucher
issued by the authority during that calendar year that was approved by the authority
during a previous calendar year.
D.
At the beginning of each calendar year that begins on or after January 1, 2009,
the department shall make an adjustment for inflation pursuant to Paragraph (3) of
Subsection B of this section by multiplying the base rate by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the consumer price index for the previous calendar year and the denominator
of which is the same index for the 2007 calendar year prior to the calendar year for
which a maximum aggregate value is determined for the issuance of investment
vouchers pursuant to Paragraph (3) of Subsection B of this section.
E.
An investment voucher issued by the authority shall be numbered for
identification and may be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred once in whole or in
part to one or more persons. The parties to such a transaction shall notify the
department and the authority of the sale, exchange or transfer within ten days of the
sale, exchange or transfer.
