This week I will discuss HUD's proposal to conform its regulations to a 2008 law that prohibits the Federal Housing Administration from requiring that tax credit proceeds be escrowed in order to qualify for FHA insured loans. Then I will address tax extenders legislation and two expiring tax incentive programs: conservation easements and empowerment zones. And I will wrap up today's 100th podcast with an outline of the Solar Energy Industries Association's request for guidance on power purchase agreements, and a summary of a recently released study that found that a five-year carryback of LIHTCs, low-income housing tax credits, if enacted, would significantly increase LIHTC investment.
