This paper introduces the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) as an alternative funding source for developing affordable housing projects. This paper presents affordable housing and smart growth elements from two selected tax credit programs in the United States. It compares these elements with the Malaysian commitments in Agenda 21 and recommends the Malaysian Point System that supports both affordable housing and smart growth requirements. It presents nine affordable housing and eleven smart growth elements that the proposed Malaysian LIHTC supports. The model includes four additional elements that Malaysia has committed to fulfill its Agenda 21. The proposed model can become an alternative solution for housing developers in Malaysia who cannot rely on government subsidies to develop affordable quality housing for the growing nation.
