Supplement dated August 18, 1997, this Supplement and the related Letter of

ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
To the Limited Partners of Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits
L.P. V, A Limited Partnership:
INTRODUCTION
The Introduction to the Offer to Purchase is hereby supplemented and
amended as follows:
The Purchaser hereby supplements and amends its Offer to increase the
Purchase Price to $675.00 per Unit, net to the seller in cash (the "Purchase
Price"), without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 24, 1997, the Supplement dated
August 18, 1997, this Supplement and the related Letter of Transmittal, as
each may be supplemented, modified or amended from time to time (which
together constitute the "Offer"). The Purchaser is also hereby supplementing
its Offer to
<PAGE>
extend the expiration date of the offer to 12:00 Midnight, Eastern time, on
September 8, 1997, unless extended.
The thirteenth bullet paragraph under the subtitle "FACTORS TO BE
CONSIDERED BY LIMITED PARTNERS.", which referred to the difference in
purchase prices when the Everest offer was at $600 per Unit is hereby deleted
-------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PURCHASE PRICE HAS BEEN INCREASED TO $675.00 PER UNIT. LIMITED
PARTNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY TENDERED THEIR UNITS TO THE PURCHASER WILL
AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE THE INCREASED PURCHASE PRICE WITHOUT TAKING ANY FURTHER
ACTION.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
THE TENDER OFFER
1. TERMS OF THE OFFER.
Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented to
reflect the extension of the expiration date of the Offer. The term
"Expiration Date" shall mean 12:00 midnight, Eastern time, on September 8,
1997, unless the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have extended the
period of time during which the Offer is open, in which event the term
"Expiration Date" shall refer to the latest time and date at which the Offer,
as so extended by the Purchaser, will expire.
3. PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS.
To reflect the assignment of the benefits to be derived from the Units
after August 31, 1997, notwithstanding the extension of the Expiration Date
of the Offer, beyond such date Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby
amended by replacing the second paragraph under the sub-caption "APPOINTMENT
AS PROXY; POWER OF ATTORNEY" with the following:
In addition, pursuant to such appointment as attorneys-in-fact, the
Purchaser and its designees each will have the power, among other
things, (i) to seek to transfer ownership of such Units on the
books and records of the Partnership (and execute and deliver any
accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity any of them may
deem necessary or appropriate in connection therewith, including,
without limitation, any documents or instruments required to be
executed under the Partnership Agreement or a "Transferor's
(Seller's) Application for Transfer" created by the NASD, if
required), (ii) to be allocated all Low-Income Housing Credits and
tax losses and to receive any and all distributions made by the
Partnership after August 31, 1997, and to receive all benefits and
otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Units
in accordance with the terms of the Offer, (iii) to execute and
deliver to the Partnership and/or the General Partner (as the case
may be) a change of address form instructing the Partnership to
send any and all future distributions to which the Purchaser is
entitled pursuant to the terms of the Offer in respect to tendered
Units to the address specified in such form, and (iv) to endorse
any check payable to or upon the order of such Limited Partner
representing a distribution, if any, to which the Purchaser is
entitled pursuant to the terms of the Offer, in each case on behalf
of the tendering Limited Partner.
In addition, Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase is also hereby amended
by replacing the paragraph under the sub-caption "Assignment of Entire
Interest in the Partnership" with the following:
ASSIGNMENT OF ENTIRE INTEREST IN THE PARTNERSHIP. By executing and
delivering the Letter of Transmittal, a tendering Limited Partner
irrevocably assigns to the Purchaser and its assigns all of the,
direct and indirect, right, title and interest of such Limited
Partner in the Partnership with respect to the Units tendered and
purchased pursuant to the Offer, including, without limitation,
such Limited Partner's right, title and interest in and to any and
all Low-Income Housing Credits and tax losses and any and all
distributions made by the Partnership after August 31, 1997, in
respect of the Units tendered by such Limited Partner and accepted
for payment by the Purchaser, regardless of the fact that the
Partnership Agreement provides that transfers are effective on the
first day of the fiscal quarter following the fiscal quarter in
which the transfer occurs. The Purchaser reserves the right to
transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to any
third party, the right to purchase Units tendered pursuant to the
Offer, together with its rights under the Letter of Transmittal,
but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the assigning
party of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of
tendering Limited Partners to receive payment for Units validly
tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.
6. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.
Section 6 in the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented to
reflect the increase in the Purchase Price. The paragraph contained in such
section under the subtitle "CONSEQUENCES TO TENDERING LIMITED PARTNERS",
which states in dollar amounts the long term capital gain and certain other
expected tax effects of accepting the Offer is replaced with the following:
A Limited Partner who acquired his or her Units pursuant to the original
offering of Units by the Partnership is expected to recognize a long-term
capital gain of approximately $211 per Unit in connection with a sale
pursuant to this Offer. This would result in a tax liability of
approximately $42 per Unit based on a 20% tax rate. Additionally, if such
Limited Partner was unable to utilize his share of previously allocated tax
losses of approximately $493 per Unit as a result of the passive activity
limitations discussed above and such Limited Partner sells all of his Units,
such losses will no longer be subject to the passive activity restrictions
and will be available to offset taxable income of the Limited Partner from
any source. Under these circumstances, assuming a 35% marginal tax rate, a
sale pursuant to the Offer could generate net tax savings for a Limited
Partner of approximately $130 per Unit from the transaction.
12. SOURCE OF FUNDS.
Section 12 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended to reflect the
higher purchase price. Accordingly, the first sentence of that section is
revised to read as follows:
The Purchaser expects that an aggregate of approximately $11,610,000
(exclusive of fees and expenses) will be required to purchase the
Units sought pursuant to the Offer, if tendered.
<PAGE>
13. PURCHASE PRICE CONSIDERATIONS.
Section 13 in the Offer to Purchaser is hereby supplemented as follows:
The Purchaser has increased the Purchase Price to $675.00 net per Unit.
The Purchaser considered the trading prices for the Units in the secondary
market during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 1997 and the estimated
present value of the expected remaining Low-Income Housing Credits in setting
the original offer price. The Purchaser has re-priced this Offer in response
to the change in market conditions caused by the competing public tender
offer that has been commenced on the Partnership by Everest Properties, LLC
and/or its affiliates (collectively "Everest") and the increase in the
Everest purchase price to $675.00 per Unit on August 20, 1997.
************
For your convenience, we have included herewith another copy of the
Letter of Transmittal. For Units to be validly tendered pursuant to the
Offer, a Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed,
together with any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, must
be received by the Administrative Agent/Depositary at its address on the back
cover page of the Offer to Purchase on or prior to the Expiration Date.
HOWEVER, LIMITED PARTNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY TENDERED THEIR UNITS TO THE
PURCHASER WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE THE INCREASED PURCHASE PRICE WITHOUT
TAKING ANY FURTHER ACTION.

THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT MIDNIGHT,
EASTERN TIME, ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1997 (THE "EXPIRATION DATE") UNLESS
SUCH OFFER IS EXTENDED.
The undersigned hereby tender(s) to Oldham Institutional Tax Credits LLC,
a Massachusetts limited liability company (the "Purchaser"), the number of
Units ("Units") representing limited partnership interests in Boston
Financial Qualified Housing Tax Credits L.P. V, A Limited Partnership, a
Massachusetts limited partnership (the "Partnership"), specified above,
pursuant to the Purchaser's offer to purchase up to 17,200 of the issued and
outstanding Units at a purchase price of $675.00 per Unit, net to the seller
in cash (the "Purchase Price"), without interest thereon, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 24,
1997, as supplemented by the Supplement to Offer to Purchase dated August 18,
1997, and the Supplement to Offer to Purchase dated August 25, 1997 (the
"Offer to Purchase") and this Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of
Transmittal", which, together with the Offer to Purchase and any supplements,
modifications or amendments thereto, constitute the "Offer"), all as more
fully described in the Offer to Purchase. LIMITED PARTNERS WHO TENDER THEIR
UNITS WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PAY ANY COMMISSIONS OR PARTNERSHIP TRANSFER
FEES. Receipt of the Offer to Purchase is hereby acknowledged. Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to
them in the Offer to Purchase.
By executing and delivering this Letter of Transmittal, a tendering
Limited Partner irrevocably appoints the Purchaser and the designees of the
Purchaser and each of them as such Limited Partner's proxies, each with full
power of substitution, to the full extent of such Limited Partner's rights
with respect to the Units tendered by such Limited Partner and accepted for
payment by the Purchaser (and with respect to any and all other Units or
other securities issued or issuable in respect of such Units on or after the
date hereof). All such proxies shall be considered irrevocable and coupled
with an interest in the tendered Units. Such appointment will be effective
when, and only to the extent that, the Purchaser accepts such Units for
payment. Upon such acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by such
Limited Partner with respect to such Units (and such other Units and
securities) will be revoked without further action, and no subsequent proxies
may be given nor any subsequent written consents executed (and, if given or
executed, will not be deemed effective). The Purchaser and its designees
will, with respect to the Units (and such other Units and securities) for
which such appointment is effective, be empowered to exercise all voting and
other rights of such Limited Partner as it in its sole discretion may deem
proper pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
of the Partnership, dated as of March 2, 1990, as amended to date (the
"Partnership Agreement") or otherwise. The Purchaser may assign such proxy to
any person with or without assigning the related Units with respect to which
such proxy and/or power of attorney was granted. The Purchaser reserves the
right to require that, in order for Units to be deemed validly tendered,
immediately upon the Purchaser's payment for such Units, the Purchaser must
be able to exercise full voting rights with respect to such Units and other
securities, including voting at any meeting of Limited Partners.
By executing and delivering this Letter of Transmittal, a tendering
Limited Partner also irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser and
its designees as the Limited Partner's attorneys-in-fact, each with full
power of substitution to the extent of the Limited Partner's rights with
respect to the Units tendered by the Limited Partner and accepted for payment
by the Purchaser. Such appointment will be effective when, and only to the
extent that, the Purchaser accepts the tendered Units for payment. Upon such
acceptance for payment, all prior powers of attorney granted by the Limited
Partner with respect to such Unit will, without further action, be revoked,
and no subsequent powers of attorney may be granted (and if granted will not
be effective). Pursuant to such appointment as attorneys-in-fact, the
Purchaser and its designees each will have the power, among other things, (i)
to seek to transfer ownership of such Units on the books and records of the
Partnership maintained by the General Partners (and execute and deliver any
accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity any of them may deem
necessary or appropriate in connection therewith, including, without
limitation, any documents or instruments required to be executed under the
Partnership Agreement or a "Transferor's (Seller's) Application for Transfer"
created by the NASD, if required), (ii) to be allocated all Low-Income
Housing Credits and tax losses and to receive any and all distributions made
by the Partnership after August 31, 1997, and to receive all benefits and
otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Units in
accordance with the terms of the Offer, (iii) to execute and deliver to the
Partnership and/or the General Partners (as the case may be) a change of
address form instructing the Partnership to send any and all future
distributions to which the Purchaser is entitled pursuant to the terms of the
Offer in respect of tendered Units to the address specified in such form,
(iv) to endorse any check payable to or upon the order of such Limited
Partner representing a distribution, if any, to which the Purchaser is
entitled pursuant to the terms of the Offer, in each case on behalf of the
tendering Limited Partner, and (v) to immediately revoke and withdraw all
prior tenders of Units hereof. If legal title to the Units is held through
an IRA or KEOGH or similar account, the Limited Partner understands that this
Letter of Transmittal must be signed by the custodian of such IRA or KEOGH
account and the Limited Partner hereby authorizes and directs the custodian
of such IRA or KEOGH to confirm this Letter of Transmittal. This power of
attorney shall not be affected by the subsequent mental disability of the
Limited Partner, and the Purchaser shall not be required to post bond in any
nature in connection with this power of attorney. The Purchaser may assign
such power of attorney to any person with or without assigning the related
Units with respect to which such power of attorney was granted.
By executing and delivering this Letter of Transmittal, a tendering
Limited Partner irrevocably assigns to the Purchaser and its assigns all of
the direct and indirect, right, title and interest of such Limited Partner in
the Partnership with respect to the Units tendered and purchased pursuant to
the Offer, including, without limitation, such Limited Partner's right, title
and interest in and to any and all Low Income Housing Credits and tax losses
and any and all distributions made by the Partnership after August 31, 1997,
in respect of the Units tendered by such Limited Partner and accepted for
payment by the Purchaser, regardless of the fact that the record date for any
such distribution may be a date prior to the Expiration Date. The Purchaser
reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in
part, to any third party, the right to purchase Units tendered pursuant to
the Offer, together with its rights under the Letter of Transmittal, but any
such transfer or assignment will not relieve the assigning party of its
obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of tendering Limited
Partners to receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted for
payment pursuant to the Offer.
By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that
either (a) the undersigned is not a plan subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") or Section 4975
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or an entity
deemed to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. {sec}2510.3-101
of any such plan or (b) the tender and acceptance of Units pursuant to the
Offer will not result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned represents that
this transfer has not been effected through an established securities market
or through a broker-dealer or matching agent which makes a market in Units or
which provides a widely available, regular and ongoing opportunity to the
holders of Units to sell or exchange their Units through a public means of
obtaining or providing information of offers to buy, sell or exchange Units.
The undersigned recognizes that, if proration is required pursuant to the
terms of the Offer, the Purchaser will accept for payment from among those
Units validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not properly
withdrawn, the maximum number of Units permitted pursuant to the Offer on a
pro rata basis, with adjustments to avoid purchases which would violate the
terms of the Offer, based upon the number of Units validly tendered prior to
the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn.
The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned
recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in Section 2
("Proration; Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units") and Section 14
("Conditions of the Offer") of the Offer to Purchase, the Purchaser may not
be required to accept for payment any of the Units tendered hereby. In such
event, the undersigned understands that any Letter of Transmittal for Units
not accepted for payment will be destroyed by the Purchaser. Except as stated
in Section 4 ("Withdrawal Rights") of the Offer to Purchase, this tender is
irrevocable, provided Units tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn
at any time prior to the Expiration Date. The undersigned acknowledges that
(i) upon acceptance of, and payment for, tendered Units, the undersigned
shall no longer be entitled to any benefits as a Limited Partner.
<PAGE>
NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF ALL PRIOR TENDERS
Execution and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal shall constitute
notice that the undersigned irrevocably elects to withdraw all prior tenders
of any Units covered hereby made by such Limited Partner, including any
tenders made to Everest Tax Credit Investors, LLC and Everest Tax Credit
Investors II, LLC under their Offer dated August 11, 1997, as supplemented by
the Notice of Increase and Supplement to Offer to Purchase dated August 20,
1997, as it may be amended.

OLDHAM INSTITUTIONAL TAX CREDITS LLC
101 ARCH STREET
BOSTON, MA 02110
(800) 829-9213 EXT. 12
August 25, 1997
OFFER TO BUY UNITS OF BOSTON FINANCIAL QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V:
INCREASED PRICE AND EXTENSION OF OFFER
Dear Limited Partners of Boston Financial Qualified Housing Tax
Credits L.P. V:
OLDHAM INSTITUTIONAL TAX CREDITS, LLC (THE "PURCHASER") HAS INCREASED
THE PURCHASE PRICE IN ITS OFFER TO PURCHASE UNITS IN BOSTON FINANCIAL
QUALIFIED HOUSING TAX CREDITS L.P. V (THE "PARTNERSHIP") TO $675.00
PER UNIT. IN ADDITION, THE OFFER PERIOD HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO
MIDNIGHT, EASTERN TIME, ON SEPTEMBER 8, 1997. AS WE NOTED PREVIOUSLY,
THIS IS A CONVENIENT OPPORTUNITY TO SELL YOUR UNITS.
The purchase price in the Purchaser's original offer was based on trading
prices for Units in the secondary market during the twelve-month period ended
June 30, 1997 and the estimated present value of the expected remaining
Low-Income Housing Credits. The increase in the purchase price is in
response to a change in the market conditions caused by a competing offer
being made by affiliates of Everest Properties II, LLC (collectively
"Everest") and the increase in the purchase price of the Everest offer to
$675.00 per Unit. Please consider the following points:
- - This is a net price to Limited Partners. All transfer costs and fees
will be paid for by Oldham.
- - Oldham will accept any number of units tendered by the Limited
Partners, up to a total of 17,200 Units, subject to the terms and
conditions in the Offer to Purchase dated July 24, 1997, as
supplemented by the Supplement to Offer to Purchase dated August
18, 1997 and as further supplemented by the attached Supplement
to Offer to Purchase dated August 25, 1997 (the "Oldham Offer").
- - Limited Partners who choose to sell their Units will forgo future
Low-Income Housing Credit allocations and distributions, if any.
There can be no assurance that the overall benefits of continuing
ownership would not exceed the benefits of selling now.
- - There is a conflict between the desire of the Purchaser to
purchase the Units at a low price and the desire of the tendering
Limited Partners to sell their Units at a high price. The
Purchaser is an affiliate of the General Partners. Therefore,
the General Partners have a conflict of interest in responding to
the Offer between the best interest of the tendering Limited
Partners in getting that high price and the best interest of its
affiliate, the Purchaser, in paying that low price.
- - No independent third party has been retained to evaluate or
render an opinion with respect to the fairness of the purchase
price. There can be no assurance that such a third party would
agree that the purchase price is fair.
- - The Purchaser anticipates that the sale of Units will not cause a
recapture of Low-Income Housing Credits previously taken.
- - The offering period has been extended and will expire at
midnight, Eastern time, on September 8, 1997.
LIMITED PARTNERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY TENDERED THEIR UNITS NEED TAKE NO
FURTHER ACTION. THESE PARTNERS WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE THE HIGHER
PRICE.
COMPETING OFFER FROM EVEREST
Everest's offer is NOT net of Partnership transfer fees, WHICH MEANS
THAT A LIMITED PARTNER WHO TENDERS TO EVEREST WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY
A TRANSFER FEE OF $10 PER UNIT TRANSFERRED ($100 MINIMUM).
<PAGE>
- - Everest's offer is for a maximum of 3500 Units, which is less than
Oldham's maximum of 17,200 Units. It is a more likely possibility that
Everest may not be able to accept all the Units tendered to it because
proration, or rejection, of some tendered Units may occur at the lower
maximum level established by Everest.
This letter supplements and amends the material previously sent to you
concerning the Oldham Offer (the "Oldham Disclosure Materials"). Oldham
reserves the right to extend, terminate or amend the Oldham Offer pursuant to
the terms set forth in the Oldham Disclosure Materials, as hereby amended and
supplemented. Any extension, termination or amendment of the Oldham Offer
will be followed as promptly as practicable by a public announcement thereof.
Without limiting the manner in which Oldham may choose to make any public
announcement, Oldham will have no obligation (except as otherwise required by
applicable law) to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such
public announcement other than by making a release to the Dow Jones News
Service. In the case of an extension of the Oldham Offer, Oldham will make a
public announcement of such extension no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern time,
on the next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Date.
A Limited Partner's decision to sell his/her units in the Partnership should
be based on many factors including investment objectives, ability to use the
Partnership's current benefits and the willingness to wait for potential
property sale proceeds for an additional eight years or more. The enclosed
supplement to the Offer to Purchase should be read very carefully. IT
PROVIDES SPECIFIC DETAILS ABOUT THE REVISED TERMS OF THE OFFER AND ITS
CONSEQUENCES TO YOU. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR ADVISORS ABOUT THE
FINANCIAL, TAX, LEGAL AND INVESTMENT IMPLICATIONS TO YOU OF ACCEPTING THE
OFFER. To accept the Offer, complete and sign the Letter of Transmittal
which is enclosed and return it in the postage paid return envelope. If you
need additional forms, please contact The Herman Group at 1-800-243-8440. In
addition, please feel free to call Oldham Institutional Tax Credits LLC at
1-800-829-9213 ext. 12 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
