5. Save the Date! BBA CLE: Equity Financing for Affordable Housing Sponsored by: The Affordable Housing Committee of the Real Estate Section Friday, April 4, 2008 - 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Equity financing has been a significant source of project capital for developers of affordable housing developments in recent years. Today, the downward shift in the capital markets has resulted in fewer capital dollars available for investment and more rigorous investment standards. It is now more important than ever to understand how the "sale" of low-income housing tax credits transpires, what syndicators of the tax credit (and their investors) care about, what the implications and incentives are for developers who use equity financing, and how the various legal documents work to memorialize these complicated transactions. This program will provide participants with an overview of the basic legal structure of low-income housing tax credit projects while offering first-hand insight into the principal business considerations of its investors and developers. A syndicator, developer's consultant and their respective counsel will discuss salient deal terms and supporting documentation for tax credit equity financing.
