Tax Credits & Tax Exempt Bonds:
   State-by-State Preview

This special state-by-state guide offers an exclusive compilation of changes in low-income housing tax credit and tax-exempt bond programs for 2009. The information is presented by state alphabetically, starting with tax credit information, then private-activity tax-exempt bond information.

Lenders are expected to lend less and at more conservative terms, equity will be prohibitively costly, and construction financing will be scarce. But how bad will 2009 be, and how will it affect your business?
