affordability requirements​​

To ensure housing availability for low and moderate income households, properties taking part in CHFA's multifamily loans programs have restrictions for a minimum "qualified project period" or the term of the loan, whichever is longer. These restrictions typically include the following: 

  • A total of 75% of the units must be available and affordable to households with low and moderate income. "Moderate" is defined as 100% of the area median income adjusted for household size. 
  • Of the total units in a development, either: 
    • ​a minimum of 20% of the units must be available and affordable to households earning 50% of the area median income or less, adjusted for household size; or 
    • ​a minimum of 40% of the units must be available and affordable to households earning 60% of the area median income or less, adjusted for household size. 
  • The housing costs (rent plus an allowance for tenant-paid utilities) for all restricted units may not exceed 30% of the annual income ceiling for the various household sizes.

CHFA continuously monitors compliance with these requirements.
