Program Overview
The NHTF Program was established under Title I of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 Section 1131 (Public Law 110-289). Unlike HOME and CDBG Programs, the NHTF Program is funded through an assessment on loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a dedicated source outside the congressional appropriations process.
Eligible activities include new construction of permanent housing for extremely low-income households. Eligible applicants include individuals, joint ventures, partnership, limited partnerships, trusts, corporations, limited liability corporations, local public entities, duly constituted governing body of Indian Reservations or Rancherias or other legal entities or any combination thereof that meet program requirements.
