Older Adults and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit: Building Affordable Senior Housing Communities

OVERVIEW

Learn how to leverage America’s primary housing development tool, the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to develop housing for older adults. Experts from LeadingAge and the National Housing Trust will describe how the Housing Credit can be used to serve older adults, including by pairing the tax incentives with programs like Section 202 and with supportive services leveraged by older adults, followed by a live Q&A session.

Learning Objectives

Describe the fundamental structure of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program and its role in financing affordable housing for older adults.
Identify strategies for combining LIHTC with other housing programs.
Evaluate approaches to integrating supportive services within LIHTC-funded developments to help older adults age in place and maintain independence.
