Senate Tax Bill Makes Permanent Housing Credit Volume Cap Increase, 25 Percent Bond Financing Threshold

Late yesterday afternoon, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-ID) released the much-anticipated text of the tax and Medicaid portion of the Senateโ€™s reconciliation bill, with significant differences from the House-passed version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Like the House bill, the Senate text includes a major expansion of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) resources, providing a permanent 12 percent increase in Housing Credit authority for the 9 percent program and permanently lowering the bond financing test from 50 to 25 percent. The House bill would increase Housing Credit authority by 12.5 percent and lower the bond financing test to 25 percent, but in both instances those changes would be applicable for just four years. The Senate bill does not include new basis boosts for properties in rural and Native American communities, as is included in the House-passed bill.
