OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM

If more than 50% of a project is financed with tax-exempt Multifamily Bonds, the project may access the 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) without competing for an allocation of the 4% Tax Credit. However, during years when anticipated demand for Multifamily Bonds is expected to exceed availability, there will be competition for the bonds through an announced Bond Round. If such a Round is in effect. It will be noted on this page. Using bonds with tax credits allows developers to combine low interest rates on long term debt with a substantial equity contribution from an allocation of LIHTC. While LIHTC cannot be used with 501(c)(3) bonds, nonprofit developers can access LIHTC by forming a partnership with a for-profit tax credit investor and applying for Multifamily Bonds.
