2025 brought major legislative victories for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, including a permanent 12% increase in the 9% credit allocation and a permanent reduction of the private activity bond financing requirement for 4% credits from 50% to 25%. These long-awaited changes take effect January 1, 2026, and will have far-reaching implications for affordable housing development nationwide.
Join this session to learn what these updates mean for the LIHTC program, how they may impact future projects and investment, and what additional advocacy efforts are underway to further strengthen the program. We’ll also explore other new developments and trends shaping the “tax credit world” in 2026 and beyond.
