You don't have to know where the journey leads. Trust your gifts. Raise your hand. That message captures Lori Little's remarkable career and the wisdom she shares with hosts Jennifer Green and Diana McIver in this special WAHNcast 50 Over 50 episode. A Baylor Law graduate, Lori never planned on a career in affordable housing. A two-line newspaper job ad led her to research what LIHTC meant, take a chance and raise her hand. That opportunity launched decades of leadership and service, including 22 years with the National Affordable Housing Trust, where she ultimately served as CEO. Lori shares why curiosity, mentorship and a willingness to try something new have shaped her journey. She also reflects on resident services, women's evolving role in affordable housing, work-life balance and the importance of lifting up the next generation. As WAHN's inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Lori's story is a reminder that a meaningful career doesn't always follow the path you planned. Sometimes you trust the journey, use the gifts you've been given and raise your hand.

Some people build careers in an industry. Ronne Thielen helped build the industry itself. In this special 50 Over 50 Women of Influence episode of WAHNcast, guest hosts Angie Truitt and Ashley Northcutt sit down with Ronne Thielen, Executive Vice President and Director of Public Policy & Advocacy at R4 Capital and one of affordable housing's true legends. With nearly five decades in the industry and a front-row seat to the earliest days of LIHTC, Ronne shares stories and wisdom from a remarkable career and an equally remarkable life. It's a conversation about taking chances, trusting yourself, continuing to learn and having the courage to find your own way. Fearless, brilliant and refreshingly candid, Ronne is truly a force of nature, and this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/Ryan Donovan, CEO of the Council of Federal Home Loan Banks, joins Mark Treichel to walk through what came out of the first Federal Home Loan Bank oversight hearing in 15 years — and what credit unions should take from it.The Federal Home Loan Bank System is not a well-known system, as Ryan puts it, so the testimony started with education: 11 banks serving 6,300 members — credit unions, banks, insurance companies, and community development financial institutions (CDFIs) — providing liquidity so those members can serve their own members, customers, and communities.On credit unions specifically, membership growth continues. A substantial portion of credit union assets is already inside the System; by member count, there is still room to grow among smaller institutions.Ryan explains the regulatory ask that matters most for liquidity managers: when regulators look at the liquidity coverage ratio and similar measures, Home Loan Bank advances should be treated as core liquidity, reflecting the System's reliability across its history. Those conversations have begun with the FDIC and will extend to the other member regulators, including the incoming chairman of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).He also draws the distinction credit unions sometimes blur: the Federal Reserve has limited lending authority — overnight lending, with limits on consecutive days and on days borrowed within a set period — while the Home Loan Bank is a daily liquidity provider, with its nexus to housing sitting in the collateral members bring, whether mortgages they originated or bought or mortgage-backed securities they hold.On interoperability — one of the two hard-to-pronounce words of the hearing, alongside countercyclical — Ryan describes the work that came out of the March 2023 lessons learned: encouraging members to establish and periodically test discount window lines, improving Fed and Home Loan Bank communication so the right people can reach each other at 6:00 on a Friday, negotiating master subordination agreements so collateral can move faster in a crisis, and proposing that the Fed accept a Home Loan Bank letter of credit on behalf of a member in stress to bridge from Friday's close to Monday's open. Mark connects this directly to staff turnover, including the roughly 27% of NCUA staff lost to buyouts, and what that does to a call tree.On housing, the banks are required by law to set aside 10% of the previous year's net earnings for the Affordable Housing Program (AHP). For the last two years they have contributed 50% more than required, putting more than $1 billion a year toward affordable housing. Ryan is candid about AHP's burden — 13 FHFA regulations and six advisory bulletins — and notes that FHFA under Director Pulte is overhauling it. He contrasts AHP dollars committed with voluntary program dollars already out the door, and warns against any change to the 10% statutory floor that would crowd out voluntary programs.The conversation closes on CDFI membership, low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) collateral that is reliable but hard to value, the subsidized programs Chicago, Boston, and Cincinnati run, H.R. 7647 and the community financial institution definition, and why insurance companies belong in the System at all.

Hosts Steve Lowery and Yvonne Godfrey interview trial lawyers Taylor Powell and Whitney Harrison about DHD Jessamine LLC v. Florence County, a Fair Housing Act case over a proposed 60-unit LIHTC affordable housing community in an unzoned “donut hole” parcel in Florence County.   CASE SUMMARY: After county officials initially supported the development, neighborhood opposition and a country club meeting preceded withdrawal of support, shifting objections (traffic, drainage, sidewalks), a special meeting to fast-track a development moratorium that was enforced before becoming law, and later rezoning to R-1 to bar multifamily housing. Plaintiffs pursued disparate treatment and disparate impact claims; the court granted summary judgment on the prima facie disparate impact prong. A jury trial featured streamlined exhibits, visual timelines, and expert testimony on disparate impact. On Nov. 5, 2025, the jury awarded $8.219M compensatory and $4M punitive damages; the case later settled for $10M.    GUEST BIOS Taylor Powell:  Originally from Charlotte, N.C., Taylor Powell brings more than a decade of legal experience to the Lesemann & Associates team.

The 21 st Century Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream (ROAD) to Housing Act, which became law July 11, introduced sweeping changes to various housing programs and provisions. On this week's episode of Tax Credit Tuesday's "Washington Watch" series, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac Chief Public Policy Officer Peter Lawrence discuss the act and its implications for low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) developers and other professionals working in affordable housing. The two review 10 ways the bill impacts various programs and provisions, including the public welfare investment provision, build-to-rent provision, HOME investments partnership program, Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) and more. Novogradac and Lawrence also discuss the ways in which the bill might affect opportunity zones (OZs) and the new markets tax credit (NMTC) incentive.

More than just housing, Arbor 515 gives Salt Lake City residents the opportunity to build a future. The new development, a conversion of a former office building financed by Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), provides housing for residents earning between 25% and 55% of the area median income while also offering a unique opportunity to build equity.According to developer Chris Parker, director of the Perpetual Housing Fund (PHF), most of the building's annual cash flow will be returned to residents. If Arbor 515 is refinanced or sold, residents will also receive direct payments based on the length of time they have lived in their apartments. PHF, a lean non-profit with community-first capital sources, is able to share the majority of all annual cashflow, long-term equity generation, and future refinance/sale proceeds with the residents living in a PHF project.To learn more how this innovative approach is helping low income renters build financial security and explore whether similar ideas could help address Hawaiʻi's housing challenges, please listen Senator Chang and Chris Parker's intriguing conversation!!

Developers who receive low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) must incur at least 10% of the costs that are included in its reasonably expected basis by a specified date determined by federal and, often, state requirements in order to pass what is often called "the 10% test." On this week's episode of Tax Credit Tuesday's "So You Want to Be a LIHTC Developer" series, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Karie McMillen, CPA, discuss the 10% test and how it came about. Novogradac and McMillen then dive into how the 10% test is calculated as a fraction, reviewing what makes up the denominator and what can potentially go into the numerator. They conclude by addressing some common challenges that developers face when it comes to meeting the 10% test.

There are advantages and disadvantages to developing real estate in any location. When it comes to affordable rental housing, some locations qualify for a 30% basis boost, which translates to the potential for generating 30% more low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity. On this week's episode of the So You Want to Be a LIHTC Developer, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Thomas Stagg, CPA, discuss three types of locations eligible for a 30% basis boost: qualified census tracts (QCTs), difficult development areas (DDAs) and a basis boost eligible to developments that have received 9% LIHTC allocation. The two conclude by introducing a new resource available through Novogradac, the Qualified Census Tract Estimator tool.

On this episode of Tax Credit Tuesday, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac partner Charles Rhuda III, CPA, discuss several challenges that may arise while developing an affordable housing property with multiple buildings financed by private activity bonds (PABs) in combination with 4% low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs), including when those buildings are placed in service across multiple years. Novogradac and Rhuda highlight several issues that developers, syndicators and investors should be aware of, including satisfying 25% financed-by test requirements and challenges that may come up during the lease-up period. They also discuss potential complications when using recycled PABs and other sources of financing to close the gap.

Ashley also emphasizes the value of grit and open-mindedness in navigating career changes and underscores the importance of community involvement and giving back.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:Being a lifelong learner helps you embrace change and every pivot that comes with it.[21:21] I think that intuitiveness comes from experiences and learning. Now I'm 30, almost 35, and I still am like, well, now what am I going to learn? Like now I learned LIHTC; what should I learn next? Because you just have no idea where that's going to help you somewhere else. Anyway, I think continuing to want to learn and enjoy it, even if it's like architecture or planning or art or something that really, maybe it's adjacent, maybe it has nothing to do with your career, I think reading books about anything will help you somewhere. So I think just that mindset of enjoying learning—try to keep that up even when you're in the thick of long workweeks and your late twenties and early thirties. Find a way to learn and enjoy what you're learning.Ashley reveals what it took for her to push past the fear of changing careers.[16:42] Frances Johnson: Talk to us about how you motivated yourself and how you prepared yourself. What was it, maybe a mantra or a ritual or something that allowed you to overcome that fear and just really go for the opportunity?[16:58] Ashley Atkinson Williamson: I think it was just this self-knowing that this is where I want to be. I could have stayed at the bank; I could have worked my way up, but looking like five or ten years ahead, would I just have wasted those five or ten years, or would I be putting my effort into something else? And I have to attribute it to just grit. Like I just knew that this is where I was supposed to be. There were a lot of miserable days. Some of those days dragged on for a very long time, but I just, if this is what I wanted to do, I had to start somewhere. I had to get my foot in the door, and I do think that's one of my most valuable skills, especially being a developer.How staying connected to the alumni network opened doors for Ashley[30:52] I have gotten job offers, partnership opportunities from the relationships that I made years later. Like you talked about, maybe these relationships are going to bring opportunities years in the future. I'm really busy now. I'm running a business, and I'm a mom to a one-and-a-half-year-old, but I still make a point to say yes anytime I get invited to the U because, and I'm sure this is the same for most alums, we just want to give back to the school that gave so much to us. And I love getting invited to come back, and I love meeting with the students, and I really hope that I can inspire someone that maybe is nervous about jumping into something that seems scary or not following exactly the trajectory that seems like either their other classmates are doing or their mentors are kind of pushing them. Like just be open to doing something a little different. Anyway, I am always excited to come and tell my story and to try to help any students that I can.Show Links:Ashley Atkinson Williamson | LinkedInUtah's Perpetual Housing Fund | WebsiteDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

Public housing authorities (PHAs) are increasingly finding that common funding opportunities such as U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) financing is not meeting their operational or capital needs. With recent policy changes on the horizon that will further drain PHA resources, many are turning to programs such as Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD). On this episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac partner Rich Larsen, CPA, give a crash course on the RAD program and discuss how PHAs can utilize RAD to support their public housing developments. The pair also discuss how to most effectively utilize tax credit equity, such as low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity, in RAD transactions.

While changes to the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) will help address America's affordable housing shortage, there remains a significant gap to help renovate and preserve affordable rental housing'a gap that could be addressed by a proposed tax incentive that would allow nonprofit developers and property managers to raise capital from individual investors to finance those improvements. In this week's podcast, Michael Novogradac, CPA, Novogradac partner Kevin Wilson, CPA, and Peter Lawrence, Novogradac's chief public policy officer, discuss the proposal, including why there's a need, how it would work, where it is in the legislative process and how a new Novogradac working group is addressing the issue.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed into law July 4, lowered the tax-exempt bond financed- by test for low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) properties from 50% to 25%. In this episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac Housing Policy Consultant Mark Shelburne discuss the ways in which state housing agencies are implementing the new test. They discuss how the 25% financed-by test gives states the ability to finance more affordable housing with the same amount of bond cap. The pair then explain how states can begin implementing the new test. States can implement the test on its effective date in one as of Jan. 1, 2026; wait until 2027 and spend 2026 deciding how they will implement it; or lean into the new rule and start taking actions in 2025.

President Donald Trump on July 4 approved multi-trillion-dollar reconciliation legislation that enacts sweeping reforms to various tax credits, including the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC). In this week's episode of Tax Credit Tuesday, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Dirk Wallace, CPA, review various provisions included in the legislation and discuss how the bill will impact LIHTC developers, syndicators and investors.

After that, they look at structuring alternatives, other tax issues and crucial factors around calculating basis.

On today's show we are talking about access to US Federal low income housing tax credits. This is something that frankly has not made headlines. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is the primary federal program for encouraging the development and preservation of affordable rental housing in the United States. Here's how bonding capacity links to LIHTC and how recent legislation has changed the requirements.The Act permanently reduces the threshold for private activity bond financing from 50% to 25% of the aggregate basis of the building and land costs. They effectively doubled the impact of bonding capacity and therefore they doubled the low income housing tax credits that are possible for the same amount of bonding.-----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
