Visitable Inclusive Tax credits for Accessible Living (VITAL) Act
The VITAL Act increases federal tax credits for low-income housing to boost accessible, affordable housing for people with disabilities and older adults. It raises the credit amount from $1.75 to $4.47 per dollar of investment and requires 40% of new housing credit allocations to fund projects specifically designed for people with disabilities, including features like wider doorways and zero-step showers. Projects must also be located in walkable neighborhoods or near such areas to support community integration. These changes apply to housing projects developed after 2023 and include new technical assistance resources for developers.
