CHFA Success Stories

Affordable Housing Developments

The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) works with private developers, other Connecticut agencies, local Housing Authorities and Connecticut communities to create affordable housing options that address the needs of families and individuals with limited financial means.     

Physically and economically vulnerable residents like elders living on fixed incomes, people with disabilities and people who are at risk of homelessness are particularly affected by a scarcity in affordable housing.  True to its mission to alleviate the shortage of affordable housing in Connecticut, CHFA seeks opportunities to facilitate the creation of housing especially designed for these populations.  In addition, economically vulnerable cities and towns can often benefit from an increase in market-rate and affordable housing that supports their commercial and higher education communities.  True to its mission to promote economic development in Connecticut, CHFA seeks appropriate opportunities to provide financing for the redevelopment of urban centers in decline.
