Low-Income Housing Tax Credit

The 2022 income and rent limits are available; however, they are project-specific due to changes in the law. The limits for each property may be found in the Rental Compliance Reporting System (RCRS). Below is an excerpt from the HR 3221, which mandated changes to the way income limits are calculated, along with a technical explanation of how these changes affect tax credit properties. The new limits are effective April 18, 2022.
