45L Tax Credits: A Game Changer for Affordable Housing Developers
Affordable housing developers can now benefit from 45L tax credits significantly expanded by the Inflation Reduction Act. The maximum tax credit has nearly tripled with it now being set at $5,000 per unit. Additionally, every multi-family building is now eligible regardless of height. Coordinating with Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is much easier than before and developers have more of a runway to plan.

U.S. Treasury and IRS Release Final Regulations on Direct Pay
The Inflation Reduction Act added Section 6417 to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Under this new section, certain taxpayers may make an elective payment, which will treat certain eligible taxpayers as making a payment against their federal income tax liability in lieu of claiming certain energy tax credits. Tax-exempt entities, state or local governments, and other specified taxpayers may make a Direct Payment Election for all applicable tax credits. Other taxpayers are eligible to make a Direct Payment Election with respect to some or all of the tax credits available under Sections 45Q, 45V, and 45X.

$23B in Clean Energy Projects Ranks Georgia Second Nation for Creating Jobs

Throughout the state, new clean energy projects have spurred $23.12 billion in investment, the second highest in the nation, in four sectors − solar, batteries, electric vehicles, and other clean energy technologies.

The National Park Service certified historic rehabilitation projects in fiscal year 2022 totaling $7.3 billion of private investments as part of the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives Program, contributing more than $13.7 billion of output in goods and services to the United States economy, generating approximately 122,000 jobs, and adding an overall $7 billion in gross domestic product (GDP).

$103M in LIHTC Financing for Affordable Housing Rehabilitation in Chicago, IL
Merchants Capital has provided more than $54 million of debt and $49 million in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity financing for the rehabilitation of a 21-story affordable housing property in Chicago. Merchants Capital maximized equity via a structure called "twinning," which leveraged both 4 percent and 9 percent tax credits issued by the Illinois Housing Development Authority and the City of Chicago. This syndication generated $31.8 million and $17.3 million, respectively, matched by two corresponding HUD-insured permanent loans totaling more than $22 million and two equity bridge loans totaling more than $32 million.
