Increase funding for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to incentivize the construction of more affordable housing.
Occurrences
Evidence
“I’m also working to increase funding for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to incentivize the construction of more affordable housing.”
Bonamici appears in the cosponsor list for H.R.3238, and the bill summary says it “revises provisions of the low-income housing tax credit” and would “increase state allocations of the credit” and “increase the per capita dollar amount of the credit.”
The bill’s latest action is referral to committee after introduction; the tracker shows the status as “Introduced.”
Assessments
Bonamici made a concrete legislative effort by cosponsoring H.R.3238, which would have expanded the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit by increasing state allocations and per-capita credit amounts. However, the bill remained at the introduced/referral stage and was not enacted, so the promised increase in LIHTC funding was not delivered. Because there was a serious legislative attempt that failed to produce the promised outcome, this is classified as never with an effort badge.
