New Hampshire Housing Announces 2026 Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Allocations

December 18, 2025

Bedford, NH – New Hampshire Housing’s Board of Directors approved awards of $4.84 million in 2026 Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) today. The program, which is instrumental in developing and preserving affordable rental housing across the state, is administered in conjunction with the state Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) and other forms of capital subsidy. This year, New Hampshire Housing received nine applications requesting a total of approximately $6.99 million in 9% LIHTCs and $12.57 million in capital subsidy.

Of the nine project applications submitted, six have been approved for a reservation of LIHTCs. The projects recommended for funding represent a diverse range of sponsors, including four for-profit entities, one public housing authority, and one nonprofit organization. They are spread across Hillsborough, Rockingham, Carroll, and Strafford Counties, with offerings aimed at various populations, including general occupancy and age-restricted units for residents aged 62 and older.

“We are excited about the beautiful and affordable homes that our partners across the state will create with the support of the LIHTC, AHF, and other resources,” said Kelly Roy, Managing Director of the Multifamily Division at New Hampshire Housing. “Developers will be able to raise more than $40 million from the sale of these federal tax credits, resulting in the construction of more than 200 new rental apartments. Homes created through this program will be affordable for decades to come.”
