LeadingAge National has joined an Amicus Brief in support of nonprofit ownership in special right of first refusal disputes in the low income housing tax credit program. LeadingAge has joined several other national organizations as well as members Preservation of Affordable Housing, Human Good, Transforming Age, and Mercy Housing, in an Amicus Brief supporting the dismissal of an appeal to an August 2021 ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington that upheld certain policies of the Washington State Housing Finance Commission’s meant to protect nonprofit ownership of low income housing tax credit properties after the tax credit’s 15 year compliance period.
