Abstract: This paper presents an interdisciplinary overview and a robust discussion of various aspects of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The study also evaluates rent savings accruing to LIHTC households in St. Louis, Missouri, by using a two-stage empirical procedure with generalized linear models (GLMs). Rent savings varied by unit type and decreased progressively during a project’s life cycle. The LIHTC household’s rent savings in St. Louis ranged from $139 per month on older (30-year-old) studio/one-bathroom units, to a maximum of $546 per month on new (1-year-old) two-bedroom/two-bathroom units.
