Join the New Haven Preservation Trust and the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for a crash course on the Historic Homes Rehabilitation Tax Credit (HHRTC) program! Recent changes to state law in effect for 2024 have simplified the tax credit voucher process, so prior participants may still want to get a refresher. This free workshop, led by architectural preservationist Erin Fink, will cover all four parts of the HHRTC program including the initial project submissions and the post-rehabilitation documentation of completed work.

 Attendees of the session will:

•  Learn how homeowners and non-profit housing corporations can use the HHRTC program to help defray the costs of preservation projects.

• Discover SHPO resources such as ConnCRIS that help document a structure’s eligibility covered in the Part 1 submission.

• Identify eligible rehabilitation projects and costs covered under the Part 2 submission.

• Understand how the approved tax credit reservation relates to documentation of completed work in the Part 3 submission.

• Review how the tax credit voucher issued in Part 4 is earned and applied to tax liabilities through CT Department of Revenue Services.

This session will be recorded and posted on the Trust’s website for future viewing! Thanks to the magic of Zoom, we are not limited on the number of seats available in the room either. Please feel free to share this program with preservation-minded friends and neighbors who can apply this information to historic districts located anywhere in Connecticut.
