New Hampshire Housing

Back ground

• In 1981, recognizing a serious shortage of

decent, affordable housing for low income

families and elderly persons, the New

Hampshire General Court (legislature)

established the New Hampshire Housing

Finance Authority, a public benefit

corporation

Important information

• Although established by the state legislature, New Hampshire Housing is an independent self sustaining authority, not a state agency.

• New Hampshire Housing is an instrumentality of the state.
