This report builds on our assessment of 2013 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) policies and examines the strategies housing credit agencies adopted to foster and encourage supportive housing development within QAPs for the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit), highlighting significant changes made within QAPs this year.
Virtually every housing credit agency fosters some form of supportive housing development through its housing credit program. Perhaps most significantly, eleven jurisdictions (Arizona, Delaware, District of Columbia, Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, New York and Texas) implemented notable new policies or substantially revised policies encouraging supportive housing development since the last comprehensive analysis of state policies last year.
