Housing Trust Funds

Housing Trust Funds are dedicated sources of funding established by governments or organizations to support the development, preservation, and affordability of housing. They collect revenue—often from taxes or fees—and use these funds to finance projects like affordable apartments, home repairs, or community housing initiatives. These funds aim to ensure that low- to moderate-income families have access to safe, affordable housing options and help address housing shortages in communities. Essentially, Housing Trust Funds are a strategic financial tool to promote and sustain affordable housing efforts within a region.
