Low Income Housing Tax Creditg• The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) is a federal program designed to encourage

private investment in the development of affordable multi-family rental housing. It was created as part of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and appears in Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code.

• The LIHTC program is regarded as the nation’s most successful affordable housing program, having produced more than 1.7 million units of affordable housing. Today, it accounts for nearly 90% of current affordable housing development.
