*Note to Editor
Projects are
structured so that the sale of a project’s housing tax credits and
other tax benefits provides a source of capital for the development
of affordable rental housing. This equity investment reduces the
need for financing thereby reducing operating costs which is passed
along in the form of reduced rents. To qualify for tax credits, a
project must both restrict rents on its rental units and rent to
tenants whose incomes do not exceed income limits.
The AHTC program
requires a 15-year tax credit compliance period. In addition, the
project must enter into an agreement for an extended low-income
housing commitment that continues at least 15 years after the end of
the compliance period.
