The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program at Year 25: An Expanded Look at its Performance
A CohnReznick Report
The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program at Year 25: An Expanded Look at its Performance offers a robust analysis of LIHTC property and portfolio performance, building upon the initial study released by Reznick Group, P.C. in August 2011. This follow-up report, now issued by CohnReznick LLP due to Reznick Group's recent combination with J.H. Cohn, delivers a comprehensive review of portfolio operating results based on key property segments and U.S. geographies. It also provides an analysis of fund investment performance and portfolio composition.
The next phase of this analysis, which reviews the impact of the Community Reinvestment Act on tax credit pricing, has been completed and is in production. It will be published during the first quarter of 2013. Click for the full report.
