A Guide to Affordable Housing Funding Sources

The purpose of this document is to provide a resource that outlines the affordable housing funding sources available at the Federal, State, and Local levels as well as private sources. The programs listed in this document have been separated by production and non-production programs and then further organized by level of funding and responsible agency. Each program inventoried includes a brief description and a reference resource where the reader may find more information. Appendix A is a matrix that tallies the funding sources together in order to illustrate the potential funding available to New Jersey entities to provide affordable housing in a 10-year period. This matrix does not include all of the programs listed in this document. For some of the Federal programs, it is difficult to estimate how much money is allocated to New Jersey. Inclusion in this document does not present an endorsement of the programs offered by these organizations, and COAH is not responsible for the accuracy of the information presented. All information included in this guide was obtained from current publications distributed by the listed funding organization, or materials found on the organization’s website. This is a working document and will be updated as information becomes available the funding amounts in the chart are present estimates and they will be updated online periodically as more recent information becomes available. It is important to note that it is possible and encouraged to combine the funding sources listed within this document. For example, the Low-income Housing Tax Credit can be combined with NJ Affordable Housing Trust fund monies as well as the USDA’s Farm Labor Housing Program. The reader is encouraged to contact individual funding agencies for more specific information on combining financial resources.
