1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act . 2. Findings and sense of Congress (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Experts have determined that it could take nearly a decade to address the housing shortage in the United States, in large part due to increasing housing prices and insufficient supply. (2) The housing supply shortage disproportionately impacts low-income and distressed communities. (3) Homeownership is a primary source of household wealth and neighborhood stability. Many distressed communities have low rates of homeownership and lack quality, affordable starter homes, while many individuals who own their homes have difficulty securing financing for home repairs and improvements. (4) Housing construction in distressed communities is prevented by the value gap, the difference between the cost to develop a home and the sale price of the home. (5) The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act can close these financing gaps to increase housing development and rehabilitation in distressed communities. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that the neighborhood homes credit (as added under section 3 of this Act) should be an activity administered in a manner which— (1) revitalizes distressed communities in rural and urban geographies; (2) minimizes application burdens on small businesses applying for such credit; and (3) is consistent with the Fair Housing Act of 1968 ( 42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq. ). 3. Neighborhood homes credit (a) In general Subpart D of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by inserting after section 42 the following new section: 42A. Neighborhood homes credit (a) Allowance of credit For purposes of section 38, the neighborhood homes credit determined under this section for the taxable year is, with respect to each qualified residence sold by the taxpayer during such taxable year in an affordable sale, the lesser of— (1) an amount equal to— (A) the excess (if any) of— (i) the reasonable development costs paid or incurred by the taxpayer with respect to such qualified residence, over (ii) the sale price of such qualified residence (reduced by any reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the taxpayer in connection with such sale), or (B) if the neighborhood homes credit agency determines it is necessary to ensure financial feasibility, an amount not to exceed 120 percent of the amount under subparagraph (A), (2) 40 percent of the eligible development costs paid or incurred by the taxpayer with respect to such qualified residence, or (3) 32 percent of the national median sale price for new homes (as determined pursuant to the most recent census data available as of the date on which the neighborhood homes credit agency makes an allocation for the qualified project). (b) Development costs For purposes of this section— (1) Reasonable development costs (A) In general The term reasonable development costs means amounts paid or incurred for the acquisition of buildings and land, construction, substantial rehabilitation, demolition of structures, or environmental remediation, to the extent that the neighborhood homes credit agency determines that such amounts meet the standards specified pursuant to subsection (f)(1)(D) (as of the date on which construction or substantial rehabilitation is substantially complete, as determined by such agency) and are necessary to ensure the financial feasibility of such qualified residence. (B) Considerations in making determination In making the determination under subparagraph (A), the neighborhood homes credit agency shall consider— (i) the sources and uses of funds and the total financing, (ii) any proceeds or receipts generated or expected to be generated by reason of tax benefits, and (iii) the reasonableness of the developmental costs and fees.

(3) Substantial rehabilitation The term substantial rehabilitation means amounts paid or incurred for rehabilitation of a qualified residence if such amounts exceed the greater of— (A) $25,000, or (B) 20 percent of the amounts paid or incurred by the taxpayer for the acquisition of buildings and land with respect to such qualified residence. (4) Construction and rehabilitation only after allocation taken into account (A) In general The terms reasonable development costs and eligible development costs shall not include any amount paid or incurred before the date on which an allocation is made to the taxpayer under subsection (e) with respect to the qualified project of which the qualified residence is part unless such amount is paid or incurred for the acquisition of buildings or land. (B) Land and building acquisition costs Amounts paid or incurred for the acquisition of buildings or land shall be included under paragraph (A) only if paid or incurred not more than 3 years before the date on which the allocation referred to in subparagraph (A) is made.
