Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)

The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program provides a strong incentive for private investment in affordable rental housing. It is the largest source of federal capital subsidy to create and preserve affordable rental housing. The LIHTC program gives investors a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal tax liability in exchange for providing funding to affordable housing developments.

LIHTC program contact: Nate Robinson, Director, Multifamily Development and Finance at (603) 310-9366.

Copies of the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) are available here or by contacting Rebecca Griswold, Administrative Assistant, (603) 310-9272. To receive updates about the QAP process, please click here to sign up.
