The Durham City Council unanimously agreed to support the Durham Housing Authority's issuing a $44 million tax-exempt bond to build the first phase of redevelopment of the former Fayette Place public housing complex. The new housing project will bring 252 affordable rental units for families earning 30% to 80% of the area's median income. In the end, the Durham Housing Authority and Development Ventures, Inc., will transform the 19.8 acres into a $90 million project. The efforts come as the city is seeing rising housing costs, with residents paying more for apartments.

The federal Opportunity Zone tax incentive was billed as an economic development tool to help businesses in low-income communities raise capital for growth. New research shows that across Ohio, the incentive is mostly supporting projects in just a third of Opportunity Zone-designated census tracts. Those census tracts, as a group, were already experiencing economic gains before designation. Those projects are producing mostly market-rate rental housing that's more expensive than most other rental units in the communities surrounding each project.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) made the opportunity zones (OZ) incentive a permanent part of the tax code, and as a part of permanence, replacement sets of OZs are scheduled to be designated every 10 years, with the next set of designations to take effect Jan. 1, 2027. Current OZs will keep their designation through Dec. 31, 2028, so it is expected that there will be two sets of OZs in effect for 2027 and 2028. An updated Novogradac tool can help users navigate the designations.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the per capita multipliers for low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) and private-activity bonds in 2026.

In Revenue Procedure 2025-32, the IRS updated the caps to apply the recent 12% allocation increase enacted in the One Big Beautiful Bill. An earlier notice failed to include the increase.

The San Carlos Apache Tribe issued bonds for its healthcare nonprofit, the San Carlos Apache Healthcare Corp., to finance the construction of a 100-bed long-term care, hospice care, and nursing facility on its tribal lands in Arizona. KeyBanc Capital Markets purchased the notes as the transaction's broker-dealer and helped the healthcare organization, known locally as Izeé Baa Gowáh, secure an A- rating from Fitch – "one of the highest ever credit ratings for a Native American tribe or tribally chartered corporation," according to KeyBanc.

Ohio's rollout of two new housing initiatives as part of Ohio House Bill 96 comes at a critical time. The Residential Economic Development District (REDD) and Residential Development Revolving Loan Program (RDRLP) aim to resolve the issue and incentivize development. These two new housing programs create fresh opportunities for real estate investors, developers, and business owners to bolster the housing stock throughout Ohio.
