Description

The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) encourages private-equity investment in low-income housing through tax credits. The program is administered by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and allocating agencies, which are typically state or local housing finance agencies established to meet affordable housing needs of their jurisdictions. Allocating agency responsibilities encompass awarding credits, assessing reasonableness of project costs, and monitoring projects. This report reviewed regulations and guidance for allocating agencies; analyzed 58 allocation plans (from 50 state, D.C., U.S. territories, N.Y. City, and Chicago); performed site visits and file reviews at 9 selected allocating agencies; and interviewed IRS and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) officials. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
