About the
Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition

Founded in 1988, the AHTCC is a trade association of housing professionals who advocate for affordable rental housing financed with the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit). Our for-profit and non-profit members—including syndicators, investors, lenders, developers, legal and accounting professionals, state allocating agencies, public agencies, and coalitions—seek to preserve, expand and improve the Housing Credit and complementary programs through legislative and regulatory outreach and education. Collectively, AHTCC members have financed or developed well over half of all affordable housing nationwide. See a list of our members here.

The Housing Credit was made permanent in 1993, and since then, the AHTCC has remained a leader at each effort to expand and strengthen the program. Most recently, the AHTCC was at the forefront of the effort that led to a historic expansion of the Housing Credit in the 2025 reconciliation bill, which will finance 1.22 million more affordable homes in the next ten years than otherwise possible.
