Exchange Available for 2007-08
Credits |
Projects that currently have a 2007 or 2008
reservation of 9% low income housing tax credits, with
no state tax credits, that have been unable to secure an
equity investor may now apply to the California Tax
Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) for equity
awards. The exchange program was authorized in the
federal economic stimulus legislation earlier this
year.
Applicants may receive an award equal to the stated
equity in their original application up to $.85
for every currently reserved federal tax credit dollar.
This application is only for 2007 and 2008 9%
reservation holders that do not have state tax credits
in the deal. Uncertainty remains about the availability
of funds to replace state tax credits.
Applications must be submitted by 4 p.m. on May 20
to be considered for the May 27 TCAC meeting.
Applications submitted after that time will be
considered at the subsequent Committee meeting. For more
information and the application, click here. |

What Should Be Done with Empty
Car Lots? |
American automaker Chrysler announced this
week that it would close nearly 800 dealerships
across the country, and GM just announced it will cut
off 1,100 dealers. Their closure will also leave
cities with huge empty plots of land. What do you
think cities should do with these newly empty car
dealerships. Should they be converted into parks?
Replaced with housing? Preserved as historic
sites? Planetizen, the urban planning
electronic newsletter, is interested in your ideas.
Participate in the brainstorm by submitting or voting here. | |
