Using the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program to Create Affordable Housing for People with Disabilities

Opening Doors is a publication of TAC and the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) Housing Task Force that provides housing information for the disability community. This issue provides basic information on the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, information on the state's role in the LIHTC program, and specific approaches that can help people with disabilities benefit from the LIHTC program, including strategies that combine the LIHTC program with other federal housing programs to produce rental housing units affordable to people with disabilities with the lowest incomes.
