On Friday, June 29, HBA hosted its third forum in the affordable housing series, which focused on state and local housing finance. State and local housing finance agencies play a critical role in the availability of affordable and workforce housing. These agencies finance low- and moderate-income housing. With an understanding of the needs of local housing markets, housing finance agencies are uniquely positioned to responsibly underwrite mortgages—often with down payment assistance—for low-income, first-time homebuyers and to finance the development of multifamily affordable rental housing.
