Public Input for the State of Georgia's

Draft National Housing Trust Fund Allocation Plan

In compliance with applicable U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations, The State of Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has prepared a draft version of the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) Allocation Plan and its Method of Distribution, which details how the State proposes to use the funds as a substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan. The NHTF will provide formula grants to States to increase and preserve the supply of decent and safe affordable housing to extremely low-income households with incomes at or below 30% of area median income (AMI) and very low-income households between 30% and 50% of AMI. Georgia is set to receive $3,314,612 in the first year of funding. All recipients of NHTF funding must comply with the federal requirements identified at 24 CFR 93. The allocation plan will begin a 30-day comment period on June 27, 2016.
