Nationwide Children’s Hospital is a lead training entity, providing practical job skills classes for prospective job applicants that directly correlate with those qualifications necessary for success as a Nationwide Children’s Hospital employee
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Developments
The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is a government program that gives tax breaks to people or companies who invest money to help build affordable apartments. In return for their investment, they pay less in federal taxes. This money helps lower the cost of building the housing, so some apartments can be rented out at cheaper prices for people with lower incomes.
