Yesterday the Chicago Department of Housing released what it says is the country’s first Racial Equity Impact Assessment on a Qualified Allocation Plan for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. Qualified Application Plans are documents that state eligibility priorities and criteria for awarding tax credits for housing development projects. Racial Equity Impact Assessments analyze how different racial and ethnic groups are or will be impacted by existing or proposed policies, programs, or decisions. The Racial Equity Impact Assessment to be used by the Chicago Department of Housing will inform how, where, and to whom the department allocates tax credits, and how the department incorporates a racial equity lens to create opportunities for community wealth building.

Questions arise on eligibility of 2020 bond-financed projects

On Dec, 21, 2020, Congress passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, a year-end measure that includes a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill and a $900 billion Covid-19 relief bill.
Among many other things, the act fixed the 4% low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) applicable percentage at a minimum of 4%. This comes after years of advocacy by LIHTC stakeholders and is expected to generate millions more in equity investments for affordable housing and lead to the production and preservation of tens of thousands more affordable units, with some estimating that an additional 126,000 affordable rental homes will be created or preserved over the next decade as a result of 4% fixed rate.

The Hodge, a 90-unit housing development in Shaw, offers affordable apartments for seniors in the District. To create these apartments, developers of the Hodge used the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program to partially finance the project. This post explains how the LIHTC works.
The LIHTC is the largest federal program for the production and rehabilitation of affordable housing. Unlike the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, which helps low-income families pay their rent, the LIHTC program subsidizes the construction of apartments that rent for below market rate.
