Federal Legislation Would Give 50% Basis Boost to LIHTC Properties that Meet Certain Standards to Serve Residents With Disabilities
Legislation would provide a 50% basis boost for affordable housing properties financed by LIHTC equity if they meet certain standards to serve residents with disabilities.
Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pennsylvania, introduced legislation to provide a 50% basis boost for affordable housing properties financed by low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity if they meet certain standards to serve residents with disabilities. The Boosting Tax Credits for Accessible Housing Act (S. 3925) would require LIHTC-financed properties to meet design standards as defined in the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards to receive the basis boost.
