Summary: The Affordable Housing Tax Credit Coalition and several other organizations are urging the agencies to reduce the risk weight for LIHTC equity investments and associated loans to 20%. They argue that the current 100% risk weight is inconsistent with the historically strong performance and low foreclosure rates of LIHTC properties compared to other real estate assets.
