Overview

The just-enacted reconciliation bill makes sweeping changes to the tax code impacting investment in housing and community development, including the largest expansion of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit resources in a generation.

During this July 16 members-only webinar, NCSHA and key affordable housing industry partners will break down modifications to tax law that will impact how our nation finances affordable rental housing with the Housing Credit, revitalizes Opportunity Zones, and invests in community and economic development with the New Markets Tax Credit.
