Develop and advocate for legislative and regulatory solutions to address barriers to Housing Credit development and operations caused by the COVID-19 crisis. In particular, setting a minimum 4 percent Housing Credit rate is needed now more than ever.

Enact the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (AHCIA), comprehensive, bipartisan legislation which includes roughly two dozen improvements to the Housing Credit and Multifamily Housing Bonds that would make these tools more streamlined, flexible, and better able to serve a wider range of vulnerable populations and underserved communities. We applaud Congress for enacting two key provisions from the AHCIA in March of 2018 and will continue our efforts to advance the other components of this legislation.

Encourage the Administration to protect and strengthen investment in affordable housing, and to hold the Housing Credit harmless, in any changes to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) or other regulations.

Seek policy opportunities to further strengthen and expand the Housing Credit and other affordable housing tools like Multifamily Housing Bonds.

Strengthen the depth of support and engagement of congressional allies by working with AHTCC members to invite members of Congress and staff to more ground-breakings and other Housing Credit property events to raise awareness of the Housing Credit and the growing need for affordable housing nationwide.

Encourage presidential candidates and other candidates for elected office to include the Housing Credit in their housing policy proposals.
