History
Jeffrey E. Smith, President and CEO of AEP, has been active with the Low-Income
Housing Tax Credit Program since the creation of the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The
LIHTC is a federal program that provides tax incentives in affordable rental
housing for families and seniors. Jeff was instrumental in drafting the
legislation for the state tax credit in Missouri in 1990 and subsequently in
Georgia in 2001.
