Second-Generation LIHTC Opt-out Analysis: An Analysis of and Disposition Strategy for Georgia's Low Income Housing Tax Credit Portfolio (Developments Placed-in-Service between 1990 to 1995)

2004-05 , Fichter, Darice N.

Since its adoption in 1986, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) has become the primary engine for the creation of affordable housing in the United States. Today, the nationwide tax credit portfolio numbers nearly one million units - an average of 65,000 rental units created every year since the program's inception. In Georgia, the LIHTC program has produced over 48,260 units of affordable housing. Even as the program's future holds the promise of greater production, the rent and income restrictions for second-generation tax credit properties are fast approaching expiration. In the absence of continuing affordability requirements owners will be free to raise rents on these properties, threatening low-income residents with displacement and presenting policy challenges to state and local governments. For these reasons this research examines the post-1989 nature of the expiring tax credit issue, an outline of the challenges to the development of housing preservation policy, the characteristics of Georgia's 1990 to 1995 ·tax credit portfolio, and policy recommendations in ·order to facilitate affordable housing preservation within the LIHTC program in Georgia.
