State Housing Trust Fund
Rationale
Housing trust funds were created in response to the Reagan administration's severe cutbacks in federal support for affordable housing. Housing trust funds provide a dedicated source of funding for housing activities at the state level, including constructing, rehabilitation, and financing housing for low- and moderate-income families. Housing trust funds generate their revenue from a variety of resources, but the majority rely on recording fees for real estate documents. Trust awards can take many forms, including grants to nonprofits, developers, community-based organizations, housing authorities, or public agencies.
