CDFA - Tax Credit Finance Course

Course Overview

The Tax Credit Finance Course examines the application of tax credit programs in greater economic development finance efforts. This course will discuss the practical application of tax credit programs including brownfields, new markets, low income housing, historic preservation, and state-specific programs.

From urban redevelopment and historic preservation to housing and high tech infrastructure, a myriad of tax credit programs exist to help communities create jobs and energize their economies. Yet these innovative tools remain underutilized throughout the country. This course explores these programs through lecture, case study review and interactive class exercises by focusing on the actual application of successful tax credit programs.

The Tax Credit Finance Course differs significantly over other tax credit training events offered in our industry because participants will learn how to effectively apply tax credits to development opportunities, rather than just teach the facts and figures of each program.
