At its March meeting, the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority Board of Directors committed $1 million to the Emergency Assistance Loan Fund (EALF) Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for affordable housing partners, including organizations providing for the state’s homeless residents. The funds will assist organizations facing a variety of financial impacts due to the COVID-19 emergency. Applications will be addressed on a rolling basis, as long as funds are available. The NOFA should be sent to multifaminfo@nhhfa.org. Address questions about this NOFA to Chris Miller or Ted Seely.

Also, the Board expanded its commitment to NHHFA’s Emergency Housing Program with an additional $200,000 allocation. These funds are administered by the state’s Community Action Agencies to provide short-term rental assistance to those in need. New Hampshire Housing is coordinating other funding efforts to support the good work of our partner agencies.
