CohnReznick Releases Annual Affordable Housing Analysis & New Online LIHTC Performance Tool

Having analyzed and published reports measuring the housing tax credit industry for years, CohnReznick’s Tax Credit Investment Services group has issued its latest report along with the industry’s first interactive tool enabling you to see data down to the county level. This new interactive tool and the latest report, “Housing Tax Credit Investments: Investment and Operational Performance”, provides the most detailed analysis of more than 20,000 LIHTC properties, including performance, operational, expense and portfolio data.

The LIHTC Industry’s First and Most Comprehensive Online Interactive Metrics

CohnReznick’s Tax Credit Investment Services group created an interactive, online metrics tool. The interactive tool creates a detailed performance analysis of more than 20,000 housing credit properties for users by leveraging data traditionally found in PDFs. The information helps developers and investors develop best practices for benchmarking portfolios and offers insight into the performance of housing tax credits.
