About this listen

The Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (AHCIA) continues gaining bipartisan support in the Senate, representing the most comprehensive proposed expansion of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program since its creation in 1986. This legislation could reshape affordable housing development economics nationwide.
  • 50% increase in annual 9% LIHTC allocation ceiling
  • Minimum 4% credit rate floor to stabilize deal economics
  • Rural housing set-asides for underserved areas
  • Preservation provisions for aging LIHTC properties
  • Could support 200,000 additional affordable units over 10 years
  • Led by Senators Maria Cantwell and Todd Young
  • Advocates pushing for floor vote before August recess

Developers should track this legislation closely as expanded credits would reshape pro formas and accelerate pipeline activity.
