Use of the Tax Credit Incentive Program is not limited only to developers and large commercial buildings. This New Orleans house, now a bed and breakfast, is a recent example of the program at work. The Tax Credit incentive Program has been used quite successfully in New Orleans to rehabilitate housing for low income residents.(Uptown Historic District, Orleans Parish) Developers often use the Tax Credit Incentive program to help finance large rehabilitation projects like the Jefferson Hotel in Caddo Parish. The Tax Act staff is available to assist with projects throughout the state. This building in Opelousas was successfully rehabilitated using the State Commercial Tax Credit Program. It is now an excellent addition to the downtown. View the interior before and after photos of this State Tax Credit project in Opelousas. This residence on Royal Street in New Orleans was successfully rehabilitated using the Residential Tax Credit Program.
