NMTCs for Affordable Homeownership
Smith NMTC Associates, LLC helps communities turn New Markets Tax Credits into homes. Founded by Howard and Donna Smith, our firm has pioneered the use of NMTCs for single-family, for-sale housing — a model that most consulting firms overlook.
We work with Community Development Entities (CDEs), nonprofits, and housing finance agencies to structure NMTC transactions that fund new construction and acquisition/rehabilitation of affordable homes.
Whether you’re exploring NMTCs for the first time or looking to fill the gap for an existing project, we provide end-to-end consulting from allocation application through project closeout.

Partnerships That Drive Community Growth
We work in collaboration with nonprofit organizations, developers, lenders, investors, Community Development Entities (CDEs), government agencies, and other partners to structure and facilitate tax credit transactions using strategic models which create new homeownership opportunities, access to community and commercial services, and jobs in low-income communities.
