The State of Delaware, through the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA), announced a public meeting on the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF). The NHTF is a new affordable housing production program that will complement existing federal, state and local efforts to increase and preserve the supply of affordable housing for low-income households.
Funds will be distributed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) via formula, with Delaware expected to receive $3.0M for 2016-2017. DSHA seeks the public’s input on how to best utilize the Housing Trust Fund in Delaware to meet housing needs.
A public meeting will be held for the purpose of obtaining the views of interested citizens on housing needs and comments on the NHTF. An Allocation Plan for the NHTF will subsequently be developed and a draft released for public comment. The schedule for this will depend on HUD’s announcement of final NHTF allocations.
The schedule for the public meeting is noted below.
