Non-Competitive (4%) Housing Tax Credits
General Information
The Housing Tax Credit (HTC) Program is one of the primary means of directing private capital toward the development and preservation of affordable rental housing for low-income households. The tax credits are awarded to eligible participants and provide a source of equity financing for the development of affordable housing. Investors in qualified affordable multifamily residential developments can use the HTCs as a dollar-for-dollar reduction of federal income tax liability. The value associated with the HTCs allows housing to be leased to qualified families at below market rate rents. The Non-Competitive (4%) Housing Tax Credit program is coupled with the Multifamily Bond Program when the bonds finance at least 50% of the cost of the land and buildings in the Development. There are a variety of bond issuers (PDF) in the State from which to select, with some limitations on the location of the development. For more information, visit the FAQs page. For bond issuer or bond information, visit the Multifamily Bonds page.
