The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is a 20-year old federal program that accounts for nearly 90 percent of all affordable rental housing created in the U.S. today. The LIHTC program has been instrumental in meeting the country’s critical affordable housing shortage by stimulating the production or rehabilitation of nearly 2 million affordable rental homes.
Enterprise helped write the legislation that created the tax credit program, and is a leading syndicator of LIHTC equity.
- Raised over $7.2 billion in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity through more than 95 investment funds
