Novogradac to Host Conference on Housing and NMTC Strategy
The Novogradac Fall New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Conference will take place October 22-23, 2026 in New Orleans. The event aims to explore how the NMTC program is being used to support housing-related development amid evolving market conditions. Attendees include community development entities, investors, developers, and advisors who will discuss investment structures, capital sources, compliance challenges, policy trends, and alignment with new allocation priorities. The conference features sessions on current NMTC status, investor perspectives, compliance requirements, and strategies for upcoming allocation cycles. Pre-conference workshops on October 21 cover the basics of NMTCs and financing for-sale housing using these credits. The event is co-hosted by several major firms including BakerHostetler, Capital One, J.P. Morgan, and U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance. Brad Elphick, a partner at Novogradac and conference chair, emphasized the growing importance of NMTCs in financing developments for low-income communities as market conditions shift.
