Changes in Incentives for Multifamily Affordable Housing
At In Balance, we often work with our affordable multifamily housing clients on ways to help them qualify for a variety of tax credits from both state and federal government programs.

It is governed by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) and includes incentives for incorporating sustainable building practices in multifamily housing projects.
