National Housing Trust Fund Draft Allocation Plan for MA Posted - July 8, 2016

The Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development is the designated allocating agency for the new federal affordable housing program – the National Housing Trust Fund, or HTF.  At the federal level, the HTF will be administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  In accordance with HUD directives to the state allocating agencies, DHCD has prepared a draft plan describing its method for distributing the first-year allocation of HTF from HUD.  As of July 7, 2016, the draft plan is posted to DHCD’s website at http://www.mass.gov/hed/docs/dhcd/cd/csbg/trustfundplan.pdf.
 
Although the Department consulted with various interested parties as it prepared the draft HTF, DHCD welcomes further comments on the posted document.  DHCD will accept written comments until August 8, 2016.  These comments can be emailed or mailed to Catherine Racer or Ayana Gonzalez:
