Bill Summary

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make permanent and expand the temporary minimum credit rate for the low-income housing tax credit program.

AI Summary

This bill aims to strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program by making permanent and expanding a temporary minimum credit rate. The LIHTC program is a crucial federal tool that provides tax incentives to encourage the development and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing for low-income individuals and families. Specifically, this legislation will remove a sunset date for the minimum credit rate applied to new buildings, ensuring this incentive remains in place indefinitely. Furthermore, it introduces a new provision that guarantees a minimum credit rate of 4% for existing buildings that are not receiving federal subsidies, thereby encouraging the preservation and improvement of existing affordable housing stock. These changes are intended to provide greater certainty and enhance the effectiveness of the LIHTC program in addressing the nation's affordable housing needs, with the amendments taking effect for buildings placed in service after December 31, 2013.
