About New York State Housing Finance Agency
The New York State Housing Finance Agency is a state public-benefit corporation established in 1960 to expand the supply of rental housing for lower-income residents. It raises funds by issuing bonds and uses the proceeds to make low-interest mortgage loans to regulated housing companies. Its statutory foundation lies in the Private Housing Finance Law, and its board historically included the state housing commissioner, the budget director and the tax commissioner, alongside gubernatorial appointees.
Its main activity is multifamily development financing, offering loans to for-profit and not-for-profit developers that build or preserve affordable rental housing, including Mitchell-Lama developments. The agency is administered within New York State Homes and Community Renewal, created in 2010, and it also staffs related state entities such as the Affordable Housing Corporation. Its office is at 641 Lexington Avenue in New York City. Its bylaws allow offices elsewhere in the state, but the sources reviewed name only the Manhattan location.
