in the experiences of the state around affordable housing the average income tax which congress enacted is an important new tool that will make housing credit more economically diverse and this is done by allowing owners to serve households earning up to 80% of the median income while at the same time still making sure that units are underwritten for some of the individuals and families with the lowest income so the average income tax does this by using rental income that is charged by the higher income but still lower income households to essentially offset the charge to households who may be very low or extremely low income. the proposed rule implementing the income tax was simply unworkable and some of the interest has chilled but there are some positive steps forward and we are grateful to you and the others that signed on to urge the treasury to focus on this particular area. >> i hope they will keep pushing. i'm conscious of my colleagues so i will submit a question on homelessness for the record and healed. i think my colleague and we've been working together on these issues. sen
