The Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund recently released the Notice of Allocation Availability (NOAA) to open the next allocation round for the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program. The NOAA makes $5 billion in tax credit authority available for the calendar year (CY) 2014 round. Since the program is only authorized through 2013, the CY 2014 allocation round is conditional upon Congressional re-authorization.
