USING LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS TO TRANSFORM LIVES: ARCHWAY COMMUNITIES

Established through the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program grants states around $10 billion in annual budget authority, enabling tax credits for the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of rental housing aimed at lower-income households. We interviewed Georgeanne Barrett, Director of Communications and Philanthropy at Archway Communities, about how they are using the LIHTC program and donations to house, feed, and educate 1,234 low-income residents across 9 properties in the Denver Metro.
