| STATEWIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESOURCES |
| Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency |
| The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) began its single family homeownership programs in 1982 and to date has financed more than 100,000 homes for Commonwealth families. Although PHFA provides the funds for mortgage loans to home buyers who meet program eligibility requirements, it makes the financing available through local lenders across the Commonwealth, not directly to borrowers. Funding for PHFA's single family programs comes from the sale of mortgage revenue bonds to investors across the country, not from state appropriations. Call the PHFA Home Buyer Hotline at 1-800-822-1174 with questions. |

| Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) |
| The affordable housing and economic development programs of the twelve FHLBanks consist of grants and low-interest loans to member financial institutions to use to provide financing for economic development and housing activities. The Affordable Housing Program provides grants twice a year through financial institutions for investment in low- or moderate income housing initiatives. The Community Investment Program is a lending program that provides below-market-rate loans that enable banks to extend long-term financing for housing and economic development that benefits low- and moderate income families and neighborhoods. |

| U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) |
| The expansion of the supply of affordable housing is at the core of HUD's mission. The Office of Affordable Housing Programs administers programs designed to address the nationwide shortage in affordable housing: HOME Investment Partnerships, Self-Help Homeownership, and Homeownership Zone. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program will provide emergency assistance to state and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. These programs bring federal resources directly to the state and local level for use in the development of affordable housing units, or to assist income-eligible households in purchasing, rehabilitating, or renting safe and decent housing. |
