More Affordable Housing Near Transit and in Hawaii/Alaska.

Key points
Increased tax credits for developers building low-income housing within half a mile of rail, bus, or water transit stations, provided the area is zoned for high-density.
Enhanced tax credits for building or renovating low-income housing in Hawaii, Alaska, and U.S. possessions to offset higher construction costs in these regions.
Mandates a study to help adjust low-income housing tax credit allocations based on geographic cost-of-living differences and transit accessibility.
