Leveraging Tax Credits

September 13, 2012     1:45 PM - 2:30 PM

• There are a variety of tax credit programs in place from the federal government that can give your tribe leverage for access to private capital markets. Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) are a great tool to control funds for housing projects while New Market Tax Credits (NMTC) can be used alongside LIHTCs to foster economic growth and development. Legal and financial professionals will discuss these worthwhile services and offer you the tools to develop a financial strategy of your own.
