Impact analysis
Directly impacts capital financing for affordable housing developments, leveraging millions of dollars in private corporate investment for local projects.
Lower-income residents who gain access to newly constructed or rehabilitated affordable housing units locked in for extended compliance periods.
None directly, though communities face challenges when older tax credit properties reach the end of their compliance periods and risk conversion to market rates.
