Looking for Affordable Housing?
HousingPolicy.org has been created as a resource for state and local leaders and others interested in developing stronger housing policies. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide direct assistance to individuals and families looking for affordable homes. We recommend contacting your state's housing finance agency to learn about opportunities that are available in your community. A complete list of state housing finance agencies and related contact information can be found at www.ncsha.org, or by calling the National Council of State Housing Agencies at (202) 624-7710. The local housing department, housing redevelopment authority and/or housing finance agency can also be a good place to start your search. In many communities, contact information for these offices can be found on the city or county home page. Your local public housing agency can provide information about public housing, housing vouchers and other subsidized housing resources in your community.
