How Have Community Land Trusts Used the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit? Case Studies from Athens, GA and Park City, UTLoStocco, Michael S 18 May 2013 (has links)
Public and private actors have suggested using the community land trust (CLT) model as a remedy for a number of housing related issues. This is based primarily upon the documented successes of CLT homeownership programs. Some caution that the growth of CLTs and the increased use of the CLT model beyond homeownership may stretch organizations beyond their capacity or force them to consider how to provide stewardship and community control. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) has been used by a handful of CLTs and there are reasons to believe that more CLTs may utilize it in the future. This thesis explores the opportunities and challenges that using LIHTC may present for CLTs through case studies with two different types of organizations--a grassroots CLT in Athens, GA and a nonprofit housing developer with a CLT program in Park City, UT--that have used it as a funding source.

Measuring externalities of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects in property value of neighborhood single-family homes : a case in Austin, TexasYoo, Ju Hyun 2009 August 1900 (has links)
Since the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) has been a major source of affordable housing provision for low to middle-income families. Meanwhile, growing concern about potential decrease of property value in neighborhoods has been the main obstacle for most of the affordable housing projects. As a result, LIHTC projects are facing backlash from neighborhoods near the potential affordable housing projects – NIMBYism (Not In My Back Yard). However, during decades, it has been always controversial whether LIHTC is actually affecting neighborhood property value in negative way.
This study tests the hypothesis that the LIHTC projects affect negatively on neighborhood single-family home property value in Austin, Texas. Single-family homes within 2000-feet radius from the selected LIHTC projects were analyzed based on the Travis County Appraisal District annual appraisal values between 1993 and 2008. / text

Food & Shelter: Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Developments in California and Access to Grocery StoresPalmer, Darci Coleen 01 June 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Since the mid-century proliferation of public housing, policy makers and environmental justice advocates have exposed the fact that geographically and economically isolated public housing sites are ultimately detrimental to residents and communities. In recent years, more progressive housing policies have emphasized the importance of site location in the success of housing programs. This study explores the intersection of affordable housing policy and “food desert” research, by assessing the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program in California, with specific attention to the grocery store category within the Site Amenities section. Since the inception of the LIHTC program in 1986, the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) has made multiple revisions to its application process. The study evaluates the current accessibility of grocery stores from LIHTC sites in Alameda and Santa Clara Counties in Northern California. It also critiques the changes in application scoring, criteria, and the indicators of food facility proximity and quality, identifying weaknesses, recommendations, and areas for further research.
It finds that despite CTCAC’s efforts to improve the effectiveness of the application, there does not seem to improvement in grocery store access over time. Further research is needed to determine whether this condition is a result of a failure on the part of the application process, or of high land costs and limited availability of developable land.

Creative financing & strategies for mixed-income transit oriented development in Dallas, TexasPartovi, Lauren Neda 12 December 2013 (has links)
This study evaluates the current environment for mixed-income transit oriented
development along DART rail within the city limits of Dallas. A close look at income
and racial disparity is used as the foundation for advocating for a more proactive and
aggressive approach to the development of affordable units proximate to affordable
transportation choices. Assembling financing for mixed-income TOD projects is
especially challenging, and multiple layers of federal, state, and city funding mechanisms
are required for achieving the capital requirements of the development. Both typical
affordable housing funding methods and new and nontraditional funding methods for
multifamily housing were researched and evaluated with the intention to propose
possibilities for catalyzing development in DART station areas within the City of Dallas
that have, to this point, experienced underdevelopment. / text
