About the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC)

As the nation’s largest and most successful affordable rental housing production program, the Housing Credit program has financed more than two million apartment homes since 1987 and about 120,000 annually in recent years. According to the National Council of State Housing Agencies, approximately 90 percent of all affordable rental housing is financed annually through the Housing Credit. According to the National Association of Home Builders, until recently the program supported about 140,000 jobs annually, and benefited local economies from the addition of $1.5 billion in taxes and other revenues. Housing Credit properties are also managed very well, with an extremely low annual foreclosure rate below 0.1%, according to Ernst & Young.
