The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) received an award and has been nominated for a national award for two programs that focus on small-scale, affordable multifamily rental housing developments. CHFA's “Come Home to Downtown” program was awarded the Jack Shannahan Prize for Public Service. The program, which is a collaboration with the Connecticut Main Street Center, provides funding to assist building owners in finding ways to add housing on the upper floors of small, underutilized buildings.
The Urban Land Institute also named CHFA's Small Multifamily Rental Development Strategy program as a finalist for its Robert C. Larson Housing Policy Leadership awards. That program provides low-cost capital that can be blended with funds from community development finance institutions to finance acquisition, rehabilitation, construction and permanent financing for affordable and mixed-income housing.
