Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Andrew Scivally, CEO, ELB Learning - helping organizations create better learning experiences for their employees and customers. Acquisitions can be a powerful way for a company to grow. In fact, all kinds of acquisition records were broken in 2021. And there is a good reason for that. Purchasing another business gives you new resources, opportunities and ideas. You can work with a new team of talented experts to expand to a whole new client base, refresh your brand and show forward momentum.

As my last post showed, there are many known unknowns about how and how well the LIHTC has functioned over those years. For example, a common number offered as an answer to the question, “how many units has LIHTC created over its 36 years?” the answer is often something like 29 million. Where does that figure come from? Column V in the LIHTC “database,” a column in the Excel spreadsheet that has 3,000 blanks and 1,500 cells with “0” as the answer. It is a challenge to reform a federal expenditure when no deep evaluation is possible for lack of good data. However, I’d like to close the LIHTC portion of the look back at Paul Ryan’s critique with some ideas for reform.
