State LIHTCs

2008 State Tax Credit Information

* Please note these figures refer to state Low-Income Housing Tax Credit programs - not the federal LIHTC program. Amounts of federal LIHTCs available for each state can be found here. The following chart is intended for summary-purposes only. As state LIHTC programs vary widely, we recommend that you gather complete details from the appropriate state agency. Some of the information listed below is based on estimates.

To further track the growth and success of state LIHTC programs, Novogradac & Company LLP is continuing to gather information for the LIHTC Monthly Report and the Affordable Housing Resource Center. Please e-mail cpas@novoco.com with any questions or with additional information about programs in your state.
