How to Plan for the Possible Loss of Half a Million Affordable Homes
A new report finds that nearly half a million low-income housing tax credit units-which are part of one of the largest federal housing programs-could be lost over the next decade as 30-year requirements to keep them affordable are scheduled to expire.

Experts say that determining strategies for how to confront this change will require extensive planning and resources.
