The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) released the 2014 Draft California QAP.

Some notable changes include:



  • Creating the Tribal pilot apportionment. In 2014 and 2015 program years, one million dollars ($1 million) in annual federal credits will be available for projects on land held in trust or to be held in trust by a Native American Tribe..
  • CTCAC shall review each competitive application applying as an at-risk or special needs housing type under subsection. This way, the set-asides are awarded to the highest quality competitors, rather than a high scoring application loosing in the regional competition.
  • Eliminating the option for a rural at-risk project to compete in the rural set-aside.
  • Removing the SRO set-aside.
  • Require that applications proposing At-risk or Special Needs housing types be considered, first, within those relevant set-asides before cascading into a geographic apportionment.
  • Establish minimum qualifications for subsequent parties entering a project’s ownership structure during the regulated life of the project.
  • Eliminate experience scoring features for portfolio projects in service less than three years.
