Session Three (Wednesday, June 16, 2021) – The Average Income LIHTC Minimum Set-Aside

(Available on Demand)

In March 2018, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018 created average income as a third possible minimum set-aside election for the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC). Income averaging (IA) permits owner of eligible LIHTC projects to designate units at 20% to 80% of area median gross income and include all of the units in LIHTC, provided that the average of the imputed incomes does not exceed 60%. However, the statute was complex and recently proposed regulations made income averaging less workable. This 60-minute webinar will cover the basic IA rules, the impact of the proposed regulations and possible changes in the regulations.
