Abstract:

Federal, state, and local governments spend billions on transportation infrastructure and affordable

housing subsidies, but rarely with complete coordination. States and regional entities are pivotal in

shaping transportation and housing systems. State agencies not only spend state-generated revenue but

also frequently determine how federal resources are allocated. The largest federal subsidy for affordable,

rental housing is the low-income housing tax credit program, but states largely determine the allocation

of these credits. With increasing attention on the need to combine affordable housing with mobility

options, this report examines which states have incorporated transit proximity into their allocation of

low-income housing tax credits. In addition, the report also reviews to what extent low-income

residential patterns are included in federally required, regional transportation planning. We find that most

states address transportation in their allocation of low-income housing tax credits, with the most common

transportation criterion being proximity to transit (e.g., whether a development was .25 or .5 miles from

transit). Across metropolitan areas, our scan of regional plan documents revealed inconsistent

consideration of the residential locations of low-income households. In both policy areas, we thus

observe some attention to the relationship between housing location (for low-income households) and

transportation systems. The steps toward integration are still new, without documented efficacy, and even

with initial progress and attention across spheres, integration challenges may remain.
