Low Income Housing Tax Credit Training

The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is an important resource for creating affordable housing in the United States today. Created by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the LIHTC program annually gives state and local LIHTC-allocating agencies budget authority to issue tax credits for the acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction of rental housing targeted to lower-income households.
