About Affordable Housing Assistance Program (AHAP) Tax Credits

AHAP tax credits are used as an incentive for Missouri businesses and/or individuals to participate in affordable housing. This state tax credit is earned by an eligible donor for the donation of cash, equity, services, or real or personal property to a non-profit community-based organization for the purpose of providing affordable housing assistance activities or market rate housing in distressed communities.

Missouri is one of only three states that recognizes many of the needs of its citizens can be met more cost-effectively with less red tape if performed by well-run charities. Your individual or business charitable gift, or in-kind donation, may cost you only 23 cents on the dollar. You may take 55% of your gift to The Salvation Army off the top of your Missouri state tax liability. Then you may take a charitable deduction off your federal taxes without regard for your 55% credit from the state of Missouri.

Deadline: AHAP credits must be secured by April 30 of the applicable tax year.
