A tool has been developed to assist developers and investors in the affordable housing sector. This tool provides an estimate on the likelihood of certain census tracts being designated as qualified census tracts (QCTs) by the U.S. government. Released in San Francisco on June 24, 2026, this tool aims to aid in planning for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) projects. By utilizing this estimator, developers can gain insights into potential basis boosts in specific areas, helping them make informed decisions in their planning processes. This innovative solution offers valuable information that can guide developers in their efforts to create more affordable housing options.
