NOTE 6. Low-Income Housing Tax Credits

The Company was invested in four separate housing equity funds at both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The general purpose of these funds is to encourage and assist participants in investing in low-income residential rental properties located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, develop and implement strategies to maintain projects as low-income housing, deliver Federal Low Income Housing Credits to investors, allocate tax losses and other possible tax benefits to investors, and preserve and protect project assets.

The investments in these funds were recorded as other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and were $1.4 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The expected terms of these investments and the related tax benefits run through 2033. There were no additional committed capital calls as of December 31, 2022 or 2021.
