Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

23. Segments

The Partnership has four reportable segments, Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments, MF Properties, Public Housing Capital Fund Trusts, and Other Investments.  In addition to the four reportable segments, the Partnership also separately reports its consolidation and elimination information because it does not allocate certain items to the segments.  In January 2016, the Partnership sold its three remaining MBS Securities and eliminated this operating segment.

The Amended and Restated LP Agreement authorizes the Partnership to make investments tax-exempt securities other than in MRBs provided that the tax-exempt investments are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a national securities rating agency. The Amended and Restated LP Agreement also allows the Partnership to invest in other securities whose interest may be taxable for federal income tax purposes. Total tax-exempt and other investments cannot exceed 25% of the Partnership’s total assets at the time of acquisition as required under the Amended and Restated LP Agreement.  In addition, the amount of other investments is limited based on the conditions to the exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The Partnership’s tax-exempt and other investments include PHC Certificates, MBS Securities, and Other Investments, which are reported as three separate segments.

Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments Segment

The Mortgage Revenue Bond Investments segment consists of the Partnership’s portfolio of MRBs and related property loans which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for Residential Properties and commercial properties in their market areas.  Such MRBs are held as investments and the related property loans, net of loan loss, are reported as such on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.  At March 31, 2017, the Partnership held 89 MRBs. The Residential Properties financed by MRBs contain a total of 10,656 rental units. In addition, one bond (Pro Nova 2014-1) is collateralized by commercial real estate. All general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations are allocated to this operating segment.

MF Properties Segment

The MF Properties segment consists of multifamily, student housing, and senior citizen residential properties held by the Partnership. During the time the Partnership holds an interest in an MF Property, any net rental income generated by the MF Properties in excess of debt service will be available for distribution to the Partnership in accordance with its interest in the MF Property.  At March 31, 2017, the Partnership consolidated the results of six MF Properties containing a total of 1,710 rental units. Income tax expense for the Greens Hold Co is reported within this segment.

Public Housing Capital Fund Trust Segment

The Public Housing Capital Fund Trust segment consists of the assets, liabilities, and related income and expenses of the Partnership’s PHC Certificates (see Note 7).

Other Investments Segment

The Other investments segment consists of the operations of ATAX Vantage Holdings, LLC, which is invested in unconsolidated entities (Note 9) and has issued property loans due from Vantage at Brooks LLC and Vantage at Braunfels LLC (Note 10).
