Manito in Illinois possesses a limited Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funded affordable housing inventory. The village contains 17 total affordable units, all categorized as low-income units. These LIHTC-funded affordable housing units represent approximately 2.3% of the city's estimated housing stock of 727 units.
Manito has been allocated $71,330 in project tax credits through the LIHTC program for affordable housing. This funding supports one project, resulting in an average federal funding of $71,330 per project and $4,196 per unit. The village's LIHTC funding comprises about 0.01% of the total state allocation.
The single LIHTC project in Manito, "Old Manito H S Rehab," was completed in 1996. This project initiated LIHTC-funded affordable housing in the village and has been operational for over 25 years. The affordable housing units in Manito consist of 15 one-bedroom units and 2 two-bedroom units, indicating a focus on smaller households or individuals requiring affordable housing options.
Manito has experienced population fluctuations over the past decade. The population decreased from 1,833 in 2014 to 1,655 in 2018, but subsequently increased to 1,897 in 2022. The median income has shown an overall upward trend, rising from $50,803 in 2014 to $58,602 in 2022, with intermittent fluctuations.
Regarding racial demographics, Manito has maintained a predominantly white population, consistently accounting for 95-98% of the total population throughout the past decade. A slight increase in diversity has been observed, with small percentages of Hispanic, Black, and multiracial residents reported in recent years.
The absence of new LIHTC projects in the last decade may be attributed to the relatively stable population and increasing median income, potentially indicating a reduced demand for additional affordable housing units.
Manito's LIHTC-funded affordable housing inventory comprises a single project completed in 1996, providing 17 low-income units. These units constitute about 2.3% of the estimated housing stock. The village has received a modest amount of LIHTC funding, representing a small fraction of the state's total allocation. The demographic trends over the past decade demonstrate a relatively stable population with increasing median income, which may explain the lack of new LIHTC projects in recent years. While the current LIHTC inventory offers some affordable housing options, particularly for smaller households, it represents a small portion of the village's overall housing stock.
