The Housing Trust Fund (HTF) Program established under section 1338 of the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended (12 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.) (the Act). In general, under the HTF program, HUD allocates funds by formula to eligible States to increase and preserve the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing, with primary attention to rental housing for extremely low-income and very low-income households, including homeless families.

All HTF assisted rental housing must meet a 30-year affordability period. All HTF-assisted homeownership housing must meet the minimum affordability period of 10, 20, 30 years based on the amount of HTF funds invested.
