LIHTC FAQs

Affordable housing development is complex, and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits are among the most important and most complicated tools available to developers, investors, and communities. These frequently asked questions provide a general overview of how the LIHTC program works, from credit allocation and project financing to compliance requirements and long-term affordability obligations.

Because every transaction is different, this overview is not legal advice. If you are involved in an LIHTC development in Pennsylvania or elsewhere, consulting experienced legal counsel early in the process can help you navigate the program's requirements and protect your interests throughout the project's life.
