New Hampshire Housing

What New Hampshire Housing does

New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority, operating as New Hampshire Housing, is a self-supporting public corporation established by state statute in 1981 and headquartered in Bedford, New Hampshire. Its mission is to promote, finance, and support affordable housing solutions for New Hampshire residents. The organization functions as the state's housing finance agency with statutory exclusive authority to allocate Low-Income Housing Tax Credits in New Hampshire, and it administers federal HUD programs at the state level.

The organization's service portfolio spans three core program areas: homeownership financing (through mortgage revenue bonds and partner lender programs), rental assistance (including the Housing Choice Vouchers/Section 8 program and related HUD-administered subsidies), and developer financing (anchored by LIHTC and supplemented by the Multifamily Supportive Housing Financing Program, the Opioid Use Disorder Supportive Housing Capital Program funded through the NH Opioid Abatement Trust Fund, the Non-Profit Predevelopment Loan Program, and the Affordable Housing Fund). Distribution occurs through direct digital portals (HDS NextGen Application Portal and a Partner Portal), a network of partner lenders, real estate agents, landlords, and developers, and through community engagement vehicles such as housing summits and working groups convened under the Council on Housing Stability.

Operationally, NH Housing receives no state operating funds and instead funds its mission through bond issuance, tax credit administration fees, and federal program pass-through funding. Cumulative scale metrics include helping more than 55,000 families purchase homes and financing more than 16,000 multifamily housing units, while the Affordable Housing Fund has invested $39 million in 90 projects, leveraging over $400 million to produce roughly 2,400 housing units. Geographic operations are exclusively within New Hampshire, serving a market where median home prices reached $565,000 in June 2025 (up 68% since 2020) and where an estimated 23,500 additional units are needed immediately, growing to 90,000 by 2040.
