Leveraging the Tax Code to Address Affordable Housing Supply
September 2, 2021
Event Navigation
To increase affordable housing supply, we need to use all the policy tools available to us to address the multi-faceted issue that is affordable housing production and preservation. Several programs administered through the tax code have proven to be some of the nation’s most effective tools in facilitating investments in affordable housing.
With several tax credit proposals in Congress— the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, and the DASH Act—this webinar, moderated by Linda Mandolini of Eden Housing, explored each of the bills: what they do, their potential impact, their status in Congress, and how to harness our collective efforts to include them in infrastructure reconciliation legislation.
