Financial Statements and Notes

Note 1 - Summary of Partnership Organization and Significant
Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

1.	We have reviewed your response to comment 2 in our letter
dated
May 25, 2005.  Please address the following additional items:

* Tell us the name of the general partner of the local limited
partnerships and if they are currently consolidating the variable
interest entities.

* Please provide us with a representative excerpt from the local
limited partnerships agreements that discuss the fact that the
general partner is prohibited from selling, assigning,
transferring,
mortgaging, pledging or


otherwise encumbering or disposing of its interests and identifies
the parties with the related consent rights.

2.	In your response you list a number of indicators that you
believe make the general partner the principal and the limited
partner the agent.  A number of the indicators related to the
general
partner appear to be the role of a management company.  In
addition,
under the terms of the partnership agreement, the general partner
is
prohibited from selling, transferring or encumbering its interest
in
the partnership without the approval of the limited partner.  This
also appears to indicate that the general partner is the agent.
Tell
us how you addressed the above factors in determining which party
was
the principal and agent and also discuss any kick-out rights that
the
limited partner possesses.

      You may contact Matthew Dowling, Staff Accountant, at (202)
551-3467 or me at (202) 551-3403 if you have questions.  Please
respond to the comments included in this letter within ten
business
days or tell us when you will provide us with a response.  Please
file your response on EDGAR.

						Sincerely,


Steven Jacobs
				Accounting Branch Chief
