The federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is sponsored by the U.S. Treasury Department and authorized under Section 42 of the IRS Code of 1986.

It also provides incentive for private investors to participate in the construction and rehabilitation of housing for low-income families.
