About this data

Stats are derived from TCAC (California Tax Credit Allocation Committee) Low-Income Housing Tax Credit award records, enriched with HCD Annual Progress Reports (APR) joined on Assessor Parcel Numbers. Attribution uses SPV-unwinding — project-specific LLCs are collapsed into their controlling parent sponsors. "APR confirmed" units reflect buildings with a certificate of occupancy recorded in the HCD APR. Data covers 801 developers with 2+ built projects through 2025. "Pipeline" = Preliminary Reservation stage (TCAC award issued, project not yet placed in service). JV = joint venture where two or more independent sponsors share the tax credit project.

Scope: Primary source is TCAC LIHTC award data. It does not include affordable housing financed solely through HUD HOME loans, Section 8 project-based contracts, USDA Rural Development, local redevelopment funds, or bond financing without a tax credit award. Developers can submit non-TCAC projects via their dashboard; those verified by our team are included and marked self-reported in the leaderboard. Developers whose portfolios include a significant share of non-LIHTC affordable housing may still show lower counts than their own websites until those projects are submitted and approved.
