Today is Tuesday, October 13th, 2009. This week I will discuss the new difficult development areas and qualified census tracts that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development designated last week. Then I will review HR 3715, that's the Community Restoration and Revitalization Act of 2009, which was recently introduced in Congress and includes enhancements to the federal historic tax credit. And last, I have an update on the timing of the announcement by the CDFI Fund of its 2009 NMTC allocation awardees.

Today is Tuesday, October 6th, 2009. This week I will discuss the current legislative climate in Washington, D.C. and what’s in store for the low-income housing tax credit. Then I will review job reporting requirements for grantees under the Tax Credit Assistance Program. I will also share some of the comments submitted by the National Council of State Housing Agencies about the GSEs, namely Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and their duties to serve underserved markets. And, finally, I will discuss legislation that would allow more enlisted personnel stationed at U.S. military installations to qualify for low-income housing tax credit housing. But first there is breaking news about the state and federal response to recent flooding in the Atlanta, Georgia area.
