For the third consecutive year, Enterprise's annual analysis of state policies to encourage environmentally sustainable housing through states' Low-Income Housing Tax Credit programs shows a remarkably promising trend: states' growing, deepening commitment to greener affordable homes.

This report provides background on the Housing Credit program; describes the methodology used to analyze the 2007 state Housing Credit allocation plans; discusses implementation of sustainable development policies through the Housing Credit program; and presents the green elements in every state's 2007 allocation plan, sorted by the aforementioned categories.
