Notes from Novogradac
In June 2018 the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requested comments on amendments to the disparate impact rule issued under the previous administration.
The new markets tax credit (NMTC) has been subject to reauthorization since 2006-most recently through the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act, 2015) that extended the credit through calendar year 2019.
Congress last week moved closer to finalizing H.R. 3877, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019, a two-year $2.7 trillion budget deal that would raise spending caps for fiscal years (FY) 2020 and 2021 and suspend the debt limit until July 31, 2021. The bill raises nondefense spending by $25 billion (4 percent) in FY 2020 compared to the FY 2019 spending cap, and $79 billion (15 percent) more than current law FY 2020 spending cap as mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA), but $9 billion less than the amount set by the House earlier this year when drafting its FY 2020 spending bills.
Two bills recently introduced in Congress would retroactively alter rights of existing owners of low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) properties; one bill changes the terms of rights of first refusal (ROFR) and the other alters qualified contract exit price calculation. Part I of this blog post reviewed rights of first refusal. Part II below reviews qualified contracts.
Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies released its State of the Nation's Housing report last month, and among its most salient points was the decline in number of affordable homes being built.

The Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2019 (AHCIA) proposes an unprecedented expansion and modification of the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC).
In May, Novogradac began surveying the funds listed on Novogradac’s Opportunity Funds Listing as to dollars raised and investment plans. The opportunity funds are listed as a free service to potential community development funding recipients. The information listed is based on information provided to Novogradac by the listed contact person for each company.
One of the most important provisions of the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (AHCIA) of 2019 is the proposal to increase 9 percent allocations. This provision is justified by the tremendous unmet need for more affordable rental housing production.
Novogradac projects nearly 66,000 additional rental homes could be financed from 2020 to 2029 if a provision is enacted to establish a minimum 4 percent floor for low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) generated by tax-exempt private activity bonds issued for multifamily housing. This would greatly enhance the LIHTC, an incentive that the National Council of State Housing Agencies’ 2017 Factbook reports is already responsible for the creation of more than 1 million affordable rental homes from 1987 through 2017.
