What this bill would do

The Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2025 aims to reform the existing low-income housing credit by amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. This bill updates state allocation formulas and modifies eligibility rules for tenants, including students and victims of domestic abuse. It also introduces new rules for credit eligibility, covering casualty losses, ownership, and relocation costs. Additionally, the act provides specific assistance for Native American and rural areas. The bill modifies rules regarding exempt facility bonds and increases credit for specific project types. Finally, it updates the terminology from "low-income" to "affordable" housing throughout the code.
