IRVINE, CA—WNC, a national investor in real estate and community development initiatives, has closed WNC Institutional Tax Credit Fund X California Series 13, LP (WNC Cal 13), a $75 million institutional low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) fund. The fund, which includes seven investors, will acquire nine properties in California.

Comprised of family and senior housing properties, WNC Cal 13 includes 978 units of affordable housing in both suburban and urban parts of the state, including Casa de Seniors in San Clemente, a 72-unit senior housing rehabilitation project located one mile from the Pacific Ocean. Compared to previous funds in the WNC California series, WNC Cal 13 is the company's second largest equity raise thus far. In addition, 80% of the properties had repeat developers, and six of the seven investors had previously participated in WNC funds.

“The closing of the most recent WNC California Series fund is a testament to our experience in the LIHTC market and our dedication to providing affordable housing to the state's low income seniors and families,” said WNC's EVP/COO Michael Gaber. “We have participated in this market for more than 40 years, and in that time, we have learned a great deal about how to successfully navigate and effectively structure low-income housing tax credits, and with more than 80 percent repeat clientele from our WNC Cal 13 development and investment partners, our commitment speaks for itself.”
