The Washington 9% Atlas: milestones in order, each with one line of executive truth and its guide
The Washington Atlas as a reader sees it: the milestones in order; each opens to its guide.
The pathway

12 milestones, from site to Form 8609.

Each milestone opens to its tasks, each task to its actions and the proof package it must produce. One line of each milestone's executive truth, as the edition reads today.

  1. Site Control & FeasibilitySite Control & Feasibility decides whether the proposed Washington project rests on a usable site and a financeable plan.
  2. PredevelopmentPredevelopment decides whether the Washington project's design and financial case can support a credible application.
  3. Application Submission & ScoringThis stage decides whether months of project work become a complete and timely Combined Funders Application that can survive scoring review.
  4. Ranking, Award & ReservationRanking, Award & Reservation turns the competition result into a reservation the team can act on.
  5. Carryover Allocation & Ten Percent TestThis stage protects the carryover allocation by proving the cost test on one timely set of facts.
  6. Equity Closing & Construction StartThis stage turns an approved Washington transaction into funded work governed by recorded restrictions and usable construction controls.
  7. Construction ReportingConstruction Reporting keeps fast-moving field work aligned with Commission commitments and independent review.
  8. Placed in Service / Lease-UpPlaced in Service / Lease-Up is a building-by-building proof stage, not a project-wide completion announcement.
  9. Cost Certification, Form 8609 & Final AllocationThis stage turns a completed development into a defensible final credit position for every building.
  10. Compliance Onset & First-Year CertificationThis stage turns approved household files and occupied-unit facts into Washington's first defensible credit-year position.
  11. Compliance Operations CurrentThis stage proves that the operating property remains compliant in practice rather than only on paper.
  12. Extended Use & DispositionThis stage keeps affordability duties intact while ownership and use may change around them.
Inside the edition

The guide, the Gantt and the calendar.

01

The guide

Every milestone, task, action, proof package and document of the Washington 9% deal, written to be read, not recited — what this task validates, why it matters, where it sits, what “done” looks like, the watchouts, and the requirement it comes from.

02

The Gantt

The deal in time: how long the work takes, and which waits sit with the agency, the lender or the municipality, not with you. A gate closes every milestone, and the Gantt shows what the gate needs before it opens.

03

The calendar

Washington's clocks — what starts each one, how long it runs, the condition it depends on and where the rule is written. The ones that decide a round, a reservation, a carryover, a placed-in-service date.

Who it is for

Developers, consultants and counsel who are responsible for knowing what a Washington 9% deal requires, and for being right about it. If a new project manager could run your next application from it without asking you twice, it did its job.

An edition is one state and one program. It is read on the web, signed in; it is not a PDF. $500 a year per edition, renews until cancelled; your subscription carries every update.
