LEGISLATIVE SUCCESS: INCOME AVERAGING ENACTED INTO LAW IN FY 2018 OMNIBUS BILL!

Stay tuned for information about how Income Averaging will be used in NY.

NYHC & NHC developed LIHTC Income Averaging, an infographic to explain the federal legislative proposal (now law) for income diversity in the housing tax credit and the potential benefits to affordable housing production in New York State and other high-cost markets. The advocacy and educational campaign was an enormous success and the proposal was signed into law in March 2018. LIHTC Income Averaging will make it easier to build housing affordable to extremely low-income households by raising the LIHTC income limit from 60% of Area Median Income to 80% AMI and allowing cross subsidization of rents within buildings.
