Policy Brief: Essential Funding for Essential Housing

NAAHL and the Center for Affordable Housing Lending present the Essential Funding for Essential Housing policy brief that explains the critical role that federal funds play in building and maintaining affordable housing, and highlights how disruptions to that funding, including during federal shutdowns, can imperil existing developments and pending deals.

This report builds on NAAHL and the Center’s “Real Cost of Cuts” report, issued earlier this year, that provides an overview of the role the federal government plays in meeting the housing needs of American families and details how staff and funding cuts would imperil both new and existing affordable housing developments, with far-reaching consequences for families, financial markets, and the economy.
