NEW YORK, NY - Citi and Habitat for Humanity International have provided New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing for three Habitat affiliates in Boston, Paterson, N.J., and Coastal Fairfield County, Conn. Over the next seven years, these Habitat affiliates will use the funding to collectively build and sell more than 30 homes to low-income families while providing them with financial education and support.
This NMTC transaction increases build capacity for each of the three affiliates which translates into more jobs and more opportunities for successful homeownership, and contributes to the revitalization of Boston, Paterson and the Coastal Fairfield County neighborhoods.
