As a financial empowerment professional, I value the New Markets Tax Credits tool for bringing subsidized capital into underserved and low-income communities to promote economic and community development, including creating quality jobs, expanding access to vital community services, and increasing for-sale affordable homes.

The NMTC Program provided vital funding to help our community create a YMCA facility in an area of great need. Without this funding this project would not have been possible.

Mayor Lisa Brown, City of Spokane

Forty-three of the City of Spokane’s 74 census tracts (58%) are eligible for NMTCs. We look to the New Markets Tax Credit program as a flexible and effective financing tool for creating living wage jobs and providing goods and services in low-income census tracts.

The New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program has been instrumental in helping our agency develop new facilities that not only serve our community but also incorporate a social enterprise component, ensuring long-term sustainability. This strategic investment leverages taxpayer dollars effectively, driving economic growth while expanding critical services for those in need.

Ric Oswald, Habitat for Humanity of St. Joseph County

We have used NMTC funding in the past with a great amount of success as we were able to help families (build homes) achieve their dream of homeownership that perhaps they may not have been able to without the funding. We have a new subdivision development coming on stream soon where we are hoping to […]

We support the New Markets Tax Credit because it brings critical investment to communities across Washington State—including the Puget Sound region—where traditional financing often falls short.
