Public Hearing
Make a clear, site-specific case for your development. Present the plans, explain how LIHTC works and address common misconceptions with evidence and project-specific information. Prepare for questions from officials and residents before taking the podium.
LIHTC — “light-c” or “lie-tech” — is the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. In a packed chamber you do not teach the code. You take the line they will say, and you put the fact on a slide they can live with on the record.
Slide 01
LIHTC is private capital + a tax credit. Privately owned, privately managed, with income and rent limits in a recorded restriction.
What the slide carries — One diagram: who owns it, who lives there, who inspects it.
Slide 02
The hearing does not need a speech. It needs the studies you will actually cite, and the comparable product — not a theory of neighborhoods.
What the slide carries — Three comps. One sentence each. No appendix dump on the screen.
Slide 03
Name the numbers the city already uses. Traffic memo. School district letter. Police and fire if they will send one. Do not freelance.
What the slide carries — The city’s own metrics, not yours.
Slide 04
Show closed work. Lender, syndicator, placed-in-service. A rendering is not a track record.
What the slide carries — Delivered product. Dates. Addresses.
Slide 05
Income bands, AMI, who actually qualifies in this county. Say the rents. Do not hide them in a footnote.
What the slide carries — Rent table vs. the market they already know.
