About Us
GROUND
BREAKING.
P
ublished since 1990, Tax Credit Advisor magazine is the must-read
publication for professionals in the affordable housing, historic preservation, and community/economic development fields. It’s the only national
publication that provides readers – every month and in one convenient place –
1459 NEW AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS
in-depth coverage of the federal Low-Income Housing, Historic Rehabilitation,
and New Markets Tax Credits, plus federal multifamily housing programs
administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
and USDA Rural Development.
Tax Credit Advisor has a paid readership (subscriptions cost $329/year) that
includes the key decision-makers at companies and organizations
throughout the U.S. Our readers include for-profit and nonprofit developers, general contractors, multifamily owners,
property managers, housing finance agencies, government
officials, nonprofits, and other professionals involved in
tax credit transactions – syndicators, investors, lenders,
attorneys, accountants, market analysts, consultants, etc.
Tax Credit Advisor recognizes that in a time of rising costs
and intense competition for tax credits and other subsidies, an
informed understanding of the federal housing, historic, and new markets tax
credits can mean the difference between a project that moves forward and one
that doesn’t. Historic rehabilitation projects
often combine the
use of historic and
low-income tax credits,
helping finance affordable
rental housing. Community

TAX CREDIT ADVISOR’S
Editorial Coverage
Tax Credit Advisor is written to ensure that our
readers get the most out of each and every issue.
Each issue covers key subject areas based on
our readers’ critical areas of need. These include
coverage of federal low-income housing, historic
rehabilitation, new markets, and renewable energy
tax credits, and federal multi-family housing
programs of HUD & USDA Rural Development.
We also report on green building news and trends.
Tax Credit Advisor provides at least one detailed
case study per issue.
Following are additional details on key subject
areas of coverage:
Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits
Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
Green Building
We report on the many dimensions of Low-Income
Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs), beginning with how
Congress and the federal agencies (HUD, IRS)
shape their use, and the award of LIHTCs under
the qualified allocation plans of state housing
agencies. We provide full details of how developers
put LIHTCs to work in multi-layer financings that
fund affordable housing, including the use of taxexempt bonds. Our coverage of LIHTC equity
pricing includes the widely-followed Corporate
Tax Credit Fund Watch, prepared by Ernst & Young,
LLP, and Housing Tax Credit Monitor, prepared by
CohnReznick, LLP. Both are exclusive to Tax
Credit Advisor.
We cover new occurrences in green building rating
systems, the use of renewable energy, and incentives and funds to owners to make buildings more
energy efficient and sustainable, and more.
We report on the role of the National Park Service
and state historic preservation offices in overseeing
certification of these credits, as well as on changing
deal structures, pending legislation, and IRS guidance.
Case Studies
Tax Credit Advisor identifies and dissects cuttingedge transactions that break new ground and serve
as “case study” models. These detail funding
sources, deal structures, and the challenges faced
by the developers plus their solutions.
Federal and State Update
We provide readers a quick overview of the regulatory and legislative activity important to affordable
housing and community development at the federal,
state, and local levels. We also report on new state
tax credits.
NH&RA News
We report on current news and future events of the
National Housing & Rehabilitation Association and
its councils.
New Markets Tax Credits
We cover the fast-paced regulatory developments
affecting the use of these credits – from the CDFI
Fund’s allocations and rulemaking, to the IRS’s
clarification of tax structures. We describe the
complex investment strategies involving NMTCs,
including leveraged loan structures and the
combination of NMTCs and historic credits.
Exclusive Columns
We carry exclusive columns by industry experts
David A. Smith (The guru is In) and Timothy R.
Leonhard (The Debt Corner).
