  • This week is critical for the Housing Credit.

Now that the House and Senate have both passed separate versions of tax reform legislation, a conference committee will begin the formal work of reconciling differences between the two bills. More information about tax reform is available in our recent NAHMAnalysis on the tax reform bills.

  • Advocate to protect the Housing Credit.

Please take a moment to contact all conferees, as well as all Republican members of the House and Senate who represent you, and ask them to retain the housing credit and multifamily bonds.

  • Please ask lawmakers to retain Housing Bonds in the final tax reform bill. 

Without the multifamily housing bonds, LIHTC production could be reduced by 50% annually. Please request that your lawmakers share the projected negative impacts on their states with leadership and the conferees:
