WEBINAR DETAILS
Community banks are interested in becoming involved with multi-family affordable housing projects. The most well-known program is the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, where federal tax credits provide the necessary equity capital to make the multi-family affordable housing project financially feasible. Community banks can act as the construction lender, tax credit bridge lender, or even as the tax credit investor. This webinar will explain the LIHTC program from a banker’s perspective and how it can assist an affordable housing project in satisfying your bank’s credit underwriting standards.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is designed for loan officers, loan operations personnel, compliance personnel, managers, auditors, and others that deal with affordable housing and tax credit loans.
