Low Income Housing Tax Credits

Overview

We have contributed to every major federal housing program since its inception in 1970, and were heavily involved with the legislative efforts that led to the program’s creation. Most housing developments that use low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) also use other forms of federal assistance and therefore must interface with a number of public agencies. We navigate these often-complex relationships with assistance from our colleagues in the Affordable Housing and Real Estate and Public Finance practices. Our integrated knowledge and unparalleled experience are invaluable to clients leveraging LIHTCs.
