## Summary

**Creates a bigger Low‑Income Housing Tax Credit for portions of projects that serve extremely low‑income households.** The bill would raise the tax-credit basis to 150% for building units set aside for households earning no more than the greater of 30% of area median gross income (AMGI) or 100% of the Federal poverty line (FPL). - Families and residents: Extremely low‑income households could gain more housing targeted to their needs because projects that reserve at least 20% of units for them become eligible for a larger federal credit. - Developers and investors: Projects that meet the 20% threshold would get a higher subsidy for the qualifying portion because the eligible basis for those units is increased to 150% of the usual basis, improving project feasibility. - State and local housing credit agencies: Agencies must designate units as requiring the credit boost for feasibility in order to unlock the larger credit. The change applies to LIHTC allocations after enactment and to certain obligations issued after December 31, 2025.
