NAHB Continues Push For Affordable Housing Credit
Improvements Act

A
        lthough the recent Congressional approval of
        a $1.3 trillion spending bill includes marginal
        improvements to the Low Income Housing Tax
Credit (LIHTC) program, the National Association of
Home Builders (NAHB) continues its advocacy for a
piece of additional legislation that would enhance the
credit. This legislation, called the Affordable Housing Credit Improvements
Act (AHCIA), enjoys bipartisan support and if approved would promote
the construction of multifamily rental housing. The AHCIA would achieve
this by making permanent the 4% credit rate for acquisition and bond-
financed projects, thus providing more certainty and flexibility in financing
affordable housing projects. Additionally, the legislation would allow energy
tax incentives to be used in combination with LIHTCs, and help combat
local opposition to affordable housing by prohibiting local approval and
certification requirements. NAHB estimates it would result in an additional
400,000 LIHTC units over the next 10 years.

a wording problem in last year’s tax reform legislation which affects the
