The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) regulations provide site amenity points, a threshold basis limit increase, and beginning in 2019 a tiebreaker bonus for qualified projects located in a census tract designated on the TCAC/HCD Opportunity Area Map as Highest or High Resource.

TCAC received public comment on the draft methodology and maps for 2019 and, in consultation with the Fair Housing Task Force, has made one methodological revision to remove college and graduate students from the poverty calculation in the filter in tracts where they comprise at least 25% of the population.  As a result, there is some reordering of tracts in the High and Highest Resource categories.

The final proposed 2019 maps, methodology, and statewide data tables, as well as a general response to comments received, are available at TCAC/HCD Opportunity Area Maps.  Staff will present the final proposed maps to the Committee for adoption at the December 12, 2018 meeting.
