continued enrollment in an educational program offered by a 28

whether that nonprofit institution facilitated the construction 31
of the unit. 32
(B) An eligible nonprofit organization that owns, in fee 33
simple, real property in this state, and that facilitates the 34
construction of housing, which may be a manufactured home or 35
consist of one or more industrialized units, on at least one 36

terms of this section without affecting eligibility for the tax 84
credit authorized by this section. Such terms may include 85
provisions to preserve affordability and owner-occupancy. 86

submitted based on the construction and sale of owner-occupied 116
units, the director of development may grant preference to 117
applications that incorporate ground lease arrangements, deed 118

affordability and owner-occupancy. Such preference shall not 120
disadvantage applications submitted based on the construction 121

transferee may claim the amount of credit received under this 144
division pursuant to and in the manner required under divisions 145
(E)(3) and (F) of this section. Transferring a credit under this 146
