Affordable Housing Law
Course Description:
Explores how and why federal law supports the production, finance, and operation of affordable housing and the consequences of historical shifts in federal housing policy. Examines the ways in which both housing regulation and the tax code affect the structure and documentation of complex transactions and analyzes the real-world impact of changing policies and legal requirements on the practice of affordable housing law. Begins with a discussion of the basic economic and political justifications for affordable housing legislation and a brief survey of legislative initiatives over time. Focuses on large-scale comprehensive neighborhood revitalization programs involving public/private partnerships under the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended; the Internal Revenue Code; and associated federal regulations.
