The NMTC program is the best example of a public-private partnership. It provides financial incentive and benefit to investors while serving communities that would otherwise never receive these investments. It creates jobs, which stabilizes and improves communities thereby reducing the burden of public assistance in areas without options. It provides benefit to constituents who value public social programs and to those who value self-sufficiency. There are not many programs – or topics – that can have that level of appeal to all interested parties. The program is a win-win-win. It helps America to grow and thrive.
