Treasury Department Extends NIBP Deadline

WASHINGTON – The Treasury Department announced today several changes to its new issue bond purchase program for housing finance agencies, most notably that it is pushing back by one year through 2011 a deadline for converting short-term taxable bonds to long-term, tax-exempt, fixed-rate bonds.

Several local HFAs had warned Treasury officials that they would have difficulty meeting the previous deadline at the end of this year.
