LIHTC properties — also called Section 42 housing or tax credit apartments — are income-restricted rentals developed with federal tax credits administered by state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs).

By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. Colony and fisher arms apartments was placed in service around 2016, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2016.
