The LIHTC program is an indirect federal subsidy used to finance the construction and rehabilitation of low-income affordable rental housing. LIHTC sites receive funding either as new construction or acquisition rehab. A recently published U.S. Government Accountability Office report on LIHTC development costs stated that the median per-unit LIHTC equity investment was about $147,000 for new construction projects (about 67 percent of the total development cost) and $103,000 for rehabilitation projects (about 61 percent of the total development cost).
