Washington State Housing Finance Commission Policy Updates 2027
This memorandum outlines proposed policy changes for the 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program for the 2027 program year. Key updates include lowering the minimum point score threshold for the Seattle/King County Pool to address housing ecosystem challenges, restructuring the Additional Use Period to incentivize affordability commitments beyond 40 years, and updating underlying data for Job Centers and Transit Oriented Development to reflect current market conditions and align with state frameworks. These proposed changes aim to enhance the program's effectiveness in serving extremely low and very low-income households and special populations, while improving transparency and stakeholder engagement.
