Building Opportunity II: Civil Rights Best Practices in the LIHTC Program (PRRAC & Sarah Oppenheimer, July 2015)

July 1, 2015 by

A PRRAC Report. By Sarah Oppenheimer, (MPH, Harvard School of Public Health, and Ph.D candidate, University of Washington), with Megan Haberle, Etienne Toussaint, and Philip Tegeler.

Synopsis: This summary report is an update to our 2008 report, Building Opportunity: Civil Rights Best Practices in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program (PRRAC and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law)…The present analysis uses the most recent finalized QAP for each state available as of fall 2014, plus Chicago and New York City (which have separate QAPs from their state HFAs). While this update includes many of the measures established in the 2008 report, it has been adapted to reflect recent trends in LIHTC requirements and state and federal housing policies.

PRRAC – Poverty & Race Research Action Council

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a civil rights law and policy organization based in Washington, D.C. Our mission is to promote research-based advocacy strategies to address structural inequality and disrupt the systems that disadvantage low-income people of color.
