Vacant AHP Housing Units Can Be Used to Help Disaster Victims

Our regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, granted a non-objection letter on Jan. 31. The letter temporarily suspends Affordable Housing Program (AHP) household income limits for rental projects housing individuals/households displaced by recent Colorado wildfires and straight-line winds.

The displaced individual/household must have resided in a county affected by any of these events on, or after Dec. 31, 2021. Regardless of income level, the individual/household is then eligible to live in any vacant Affordable Housing Program project nationwide. The resources below provide additional details.
