In Harm's Way? The Effect of Disasters on the Magnitude and Location of Low‐Income Housing Tax Credit Allocations by Brennan, Mark, Mehta, Aditi, Steil, Justin

“…Exploiting the exogenous timing of disasters and 26 years of affordable housing data, we derive causal estimates of the effect of severe floods on county‐level Low‐Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) allocations nationwide. We find that states respond to severe floods by increasing the number of LIHTC units per capita allocated to a flood‐struck county by 57 percent in the year after the disaster, compared to other years. …”
