The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program relies onhousing developers to build affordable housing units. Developersconsider financial feasibility and programmatic regulations whenplanning projects, and one central project feature is the affordabil-ity of units. Decisions around unit affordability directly shape hous-ing supply and, in turn, affect where low-income tenants live. Inthis article, I analyze LIHTC projects in California and show that,among projects funded from 2011 to 2023, only a small share(15%) of units was affordable to extremely low-income (ELI) house-holds. In contrast, ELI households comprised the majority of LIHTCtenants. The share of units affordable to ELI households increasedover time due in part to program regulations, financial feasibility,and state priorities around housing formerly homeless individuals,though there was still a substantial mismatch between units’affordability and tenants’ incomes during this period. Units afford-able to ELI households are slightly less likely to be in the highestsocioeconomic status (SES) communities, though mismatchbetween affordability and tenant income is similar across neigh-borhood types. Developer decision-making around income target-ing, tenant type, and project location shapes affordable housingsupply, and I conclude by noting the importance of assessing theintersections of these factors for future policymaking
New in @houspoldebate.bsky.social
- CA's affordable housing is not affordable to lowest-income tenants, who comprise most tenants
- Units built in higher SES areas have a range of affordability levels, promising for integration goals

@megankhenry.bsky.social writes about Ohio's "housing wage", what folks have to make in order to pay the rent. Stark facts reveal deep worries for the future, especially for urban areas, as MAGA proposes to radically cut housing assistance. #housingsky
Looking to places 10 years ahead of the Greater Seattle’s Abundance/Density driven growth planning. Van’s housing market is crashing after massive increases in density only resulted housing prices ratcheting up, not down. #seattlesky #housingsky www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
Another article claiming the only thing driving up costs is lack of supply when price ratcheting caused by new denser devs has a bigger tie. If it were just supply we’d see costs in upzoned areas reduced/stabilized. The reverse is true. Vancvr & Trnto learned this 10 yrs ago. #housingsky #seattlesky
#HousingSky / #CAhousing / #CAleg is bigger than we think! Lots of people have been engaging with my posts to call senators for SB 79.
Thanks for amplifying and let’s get those calls in tomorrow

Here is a fact that may surprise #HousingSky:
Construction worker compensation hasn't been driving increasing costs of construction, at least not according to data from the gold standard gov't data source, the Economic Census
Leaving this pic of one subsector to comment on later, after a dog walk.
Bliss was it in the dawn to be alive. Now, we will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind.

OR, how about reflection on what was best, learned, missing, glimpsed as possible, that might be explored and aspired to in the #HousingSky ?
More. Of. This.
Is #housingsky or #planningsky a thing yet?

Wow, huge loss for the federal Liberals and the Housing file. #cdnpoli #housingsky

I wish mobile home parks were like a worker cooperative model, like tenant owned land. Does that exist? #housingsky
Is #housingsky a thing? Agree about starter packs, lots on climate and energy and community 🙂
