Under the program a developer receives federal income tax credits over a 10-year period in exchange for acquiring, rehabilitating, or newly constructing rental housing for low-income households, and then operating the project under LIHTC guidelines for a certain compliance period. Developers sell LIHTCs to investors who want to reduce their federal taxes.
The investor’s payment for the credits is used as equity and reduces the developer’s need to use other financing. This then reduces the developer’s debt-service costs, allowing the development offer rents below-market rates.
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), The LIHTC program gives the equivalent of approximately $10 billion in annual budget authority to issue tax credits for the development of lower-income rental housing. The LIHTC can be used for: new construction, acquisition and rehabilitation, and rehabilitation of a property already owned by a developer.
Although the credit was authorized by federal law, and reduces federal tax liability, the federal government has put the administration of the program in the hands of the states. Each state has created a housing finance authority (HFA) that allocates credits to developers, administers the state’s criteria and bidding process for projects, and monitors developer compliance with program regulations.
The State’s LIHTC authority is awarded to developers through a competitive process. This process is detailed in the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) through the Greater Opportunities for Affordable Living (GOAL) Program. The GOAL program is run annually, beginning in June with awards generally announced in January.
