Beloit, a city in Kansas, possesses a small LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory. The city has 15 total affordable units, all of which are designated as low-income units. Based on the 2022 population of 3,117 and an estimated 1,194 housing units, the LIHTC-funded affordable housing comprises approximately 1.26% of the city's estimated housing inventory.
Beloit has received $617,931 in project tax credits from the LIHTC program for affordable housing. With approximately 4 projects, this averages to about $154,483 per project. The average federal funding per unit is approximately $41,195. Beloit holds 0.43% of the total state LIHTC funding.
The city's LIHTC-funded affordable housing development occurred from 1998 to 2012. The first project, Beloit Development, was completed in 1998, while the most recent, Crown Homes of Beloit, was finished in 2012. This indicates a 14-year period of affordable housing development in the city.
The 2000s saw the most affordable housing activity, with three projects completed during this decade: Porter House Apts (2004), Beloit Center (2006), and Crown Homes of Beloit (2012). Regarding unit types, the LIHTC-funded projects in Beloit consist of 11 one-bedroom units and 4 two-bedroom units. This distribution suggests a focus on smaller household sizes in the affordable housing inventory.
Over the past decade, Beloit's population has shown a declining trend, decreasing from 3,913 in 2018 to 3,117 in 2022. The median income has also decreased slightly, from $47,514 in 2018 to $46,768 in 2022. The racial composition of Beloit has remained predominantly white, with a slight decrease from 95% in 2018 to 93% in 2022. There has been a small increase in the Hispanic population, rising from 2% in 2018 to 5% in 2022. The city has also seen a slight increase in residents identifying as two or more races, from 1% in 2018 to 2% in 2022.
No new LIHTC projects have been built in Beloit since 2012. The declining population and relatively stable median income might suggest a reduced demand for new affordable housing projects in recent years.
Beloit's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory represents a small but significant portion of the city's housing stock. The city has received over $600,000 in tax credits, supporting 15 low-income units across approximately 4 projects. The development of these projects spanned from 1998 to 2012, with the most activity occurring in the 2000s. The housing units are primarily one and two-bedroom apartments, catering to smaller households. While the city's population and median income have slightly declined in recent years, there has been a small increase in racial diversity, particularly in the Hispanic population. These demographic shifts may influence future affordable housing needs and development in Beloit.
