State Low-income Housing Tax Credit (SLIHC)
The New York State Low-income Housing Tax Credit Program (SLIHC) is modeled after the federal LIHTC Program and provides a dollar-for-dollar reduction in state income taxes to investors in qualified low-income housing. However, it has one major difference: SLIHC-assisted units must serve households with incomes at or below 90 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), as opposed to the 60 percent standard of the federal LIHTC.
