Wyoming Community Development Authority (WCDA) allocates Wyoming's housing tax credits. The population-based part of Wyoming's 2026 9% credit ceiling, before carryforwards and returned credits, is $3,953,600. That is the small-state minimum: 588,753 residents times $3.416 would give only $2,011,180. Its 2026 private activity bond cap is the $397,625,000 minimum, and every 4% deal in the state needs a share of it.

Basis boost areas: 2027 QCTs and DDAs
HUD's 2027 lists, which apply from January 1, 2027, put 8 Wyoming census tracts in qualified census tracts, spread across 3 counties. No nonmetropolitan county is a 2027 DDA. No ZIP code area is a 2027 Small Area DDA. A building in either can take 130% of eligible basis. Check an address with the QCT and DDA lookup.
| County | 2027 QCT tracts |
|---|---|
| Albany County | 6 |
| Natrona County | 1 |
| Sweetwater County | 1 |
Every Wyoming qualified census tract, with its population, poverty rate and median income, is on the Wyoming QCT list by county.

Financing a LIHTC deal in Wyoming
A 9% deal in Wyoming competes for WCDA's 2026 ceiling of $3,953,600 (population amount) under the 2026 Affordable Housing Allocation Plan (HOME, NHTF, 4% and 9% LIHTC). A 4% deal needs an award from the state's $397,625,000 private activity bond cap: tax-exempt bonds must finance 50% of the aggregate basis of the building and land, or at least 25% if one or more of those bonds, from an issue dated after December 31, 2025, together finance at least 5% of that basis (the 25% bond test, for buildings placed in service in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025). Sites in Wyoming's 8 qualified census tracts for 2027 can take the 130% basis boost.
On HUD's records for the 90 Wyoming properties on this site's city pages, 4% of those reporting the field were financed with tax-exempt bonds and 87% took 9% (70% present value) credits; 16 received allocations in 2015 or later.
