Connecticut Housing Finance Authority
The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) was created in 1969 by the Connecticut Legislature as a self-supporting quasi-public housing agency charged with the purpose of expanding affordable housing opportunities for Connecticut’s low- and moderate-income families and individuals. Since then, CHFA has helped more than 130,000 Connecticut individuals and families become homeowners through its low-interest single family mortgage programs. In addition, CHFA has financed the creation of over 35,000 affordable, quality rental units throughout the state. To date, the combined mortgage financing for CHFA’s single- and multifamily housing programs exceeds $11 billion. CHFA continues to seek innovative and effective ways to respond to the changing needs of Connecticut’s communities and meet its statutory purpose. As one of only a few housing finance agencies in the nation to attain AAA bond rating from Standard and Poor’s Rating Service and Moody’s Investor Service, CHFA is proud to celebrate 40 years of creating and supporting affordable housing options for Connecticut residents.
