Report: LIHTC Program Supports Nearly 40 Percent of Region’s Rental Housing

Freddie Mac recently released a white paper highlighting the role that the LIHTC program serves in the rural Lower Mississippi Delta. The report shows that the LIHTC program supports a substantial percentage (39.2 percent) of multifamily rental housing in the region, more than three times the national average. The white paper, titled “LITHC in Rural Lower Mississippi Delta,” is part of Freddie Mac’s three-year Duty to Serve plan to increase rental and homeownership opportunities in historically underserved markets throughout the nation.
