Housing Trust Fund | AHFA The National Housing Trust Fund (“HTF”) was established by Congress under Title I of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. HTF is a formula grant program to be administered by the states. Beginning in 2016, HUD allocated to the State of Alabama a grant of $3 million.
AHFA’s proposal, designed pursuant to HUD guidance, targets Extremely Low-Income populations (“ELI”), with a preference to homeless and at-risk of becoming homeless, veterans of the U.S. armed forces, and populations with physical or mental disabilities. Data as of 2017 reflects that of the 369,962 veterans living in the state an estimated 29,047 veterans in Alabama fall into the ELI category.
In 2018, there were approximately 339 homeless veterans statewide, and with the housing cost burden, this number could increase. AHFA proposes a National HTF Allocation Plan (“the Plan”) using a competitive application cycle and point scoring system similar to, but more concise than, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.
The Plan is designed to provide funds to develop new construction of decent, safe and sanitary rental housing, with an initial preference for ELI homeless or transitioning veterans, ELI populations with physical or mental disabilities, and homeless populations located primarily in underserved rural areas.
