Our nation faces an alarming shortage of rental homes for people with the greatest and clearest needs. One of the largest barriers to increasing the supply of affordable homes for these households is that developments need additional, deep subsidies to remain financially stable.

The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) is the primary source of financing for the construction and preservation of affordable housing. While it is an important resource, it alone cannot serve people with the greatest needs – extremely low-income seniors, families with children, people with disabilities, homeless individuals, and rural and tribal communities.

The Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act would help overcome this barrier by both expanding and improving the Housing Credit. It includes a 50% expansion of the Housing Credit over five years and important reforms to more deeply target these resources to households who need it most. It also encourages development in rural and tribal communities by making developments in these communities automatically eligible for a 30% basis boost.

Please sign onto this bipartisan piece of legislation to help ensure that the Housing Credit better serves our nation’s most vulnerable people.
