ABOUT THE EVENT

HUD has released its 2027 designations for Difficult Development Areas (DDAs) and Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs), bringing important considerations for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) developers, owners, investors, and compliance professionals.

These designations can affect the financial feasibility of qualifying LIHTC projects, including the potential for an eligible basis increase of up to 30%. Understanding the new designations, their effective dates, and the rules governing changes in designation is essential for professionals involved in LIHTC development, financing, and planning.

In this 90-minute webinar, we will break down HUD’s 2027 DDA and QCT notice and explain the key provisions professionals should understand as they prepare for 2027. We will explore how DDAs and QCTs are designated, how these classifications may affect eligible basis, and what happens when a project’s location gains or loses designation status.

The session will also examine the 730-day provisions, tax-exempt bond considerations, and special requirements for multiphase projects. Through practical examples, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how designation status and application timing may affect LIHTC project planning.
