The Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) for the Missouri Housing Development Commission outlines the process for administering Federal and State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) programs and other multifamily funding. It establishes participant, development, and underwriting standards, and defines housing priorities including nonprofit involvement, supportive housing, service-enriched housing, preservation, and housing for veterans and the workforce. The plan details the reservation and allocation processes, compliance monitoring, and program fees, with the overarching goal of ensuring the financial feasibility and long-term viability of affordable housing developments.

The approvals include multiple developments across different cities. These developments vary in construction type, including acquisition/rehab and new construction, and cater to different occupancy types such as senior 62+ and family. Some developments offer service-enriched or veteran's services. The developments are Highlands Apartments, Crestview Village Apartments, Commons of Belton, Pevely Pointe Apartments, Delmar Divine Phase 2, Winston Churchill Apartments, Triton Pointe, Maplewood Loop Apartments, The Sanford B Ladd School Redevelopment Project, 9th and Central, Benton Apartments, The Greens at Grandview, Pinewood Place Apartments and Promise Place.
