Housing Trust Fund Federal Register Allocation Notice

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Fiscal Year 2016 Funding Awards.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) 
established the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) to be administered by HUD. 
Pursuant to the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Security and 
Soundness Act of 1992 (the Act), as amended by HERA, Division A, 
eligible HTF grantees are the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of 
Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands. In 
accordance with Section 1338 (c)(4)(A) of the Act, this notice 
announces the formula allocation amount for each eligible HTF grantee.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Virginia Sardone, Director, Office of 
Affordable Housing Programs, Room 7164, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW., Washington, DC 20410-7000; 
telephone (202) 708-2684. (This is not a toll-free number.) A 
telecommunications device for hearing- and speech-impaired persons 
(TTY) is available at 800-877-8339 (Federal Information Relay Service).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1131 of HERA Division A amended the 
Act to add a new section 1337 entitled ``Affordable Housing 
Allocations'' and a new section 1338 entitled ``Housing Trust Fund.'' 
HUD's implementing regulations are codified at 24 CFR part 93.
    Congress authorized the HTF with the stated purpose of: (1) 
Increasing and preserving the supply of rental housing for extremely 
low-income families with incomes between 0 and 30 percent of area 
median income and very low-income families with incomes between 30 and 
50 percent of area median income, including homeless families, and (2) 
increasing homeownership for extremely low-income and very low-income 
families.
    Section 1337 of the Act provides for the HTF (and other programs) 
to be funded with an affordable housing set aside by Fannie Mae and 
Freddie Mac. The total set-aside amount is equal to 4.2 basis points 
(.042 percent) of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's new mortgage purchases, 
a portion of which is for the HTF.
    Section 1338 of the Act directs HUD to establish, through 
regulation, the formula for distribution of amounts made available for 
the HTF. The statute specifies the factors to be used for the formula 
and priority for certain factors. The factors and methodology HUD uses 
to allocate HTF funds among eligible grantees are established in the 
HTF regulation. The funding announced for Fiscal Year 2016 through this 
notice is $173,591,160. Appendix A to this notice provides the names 
and the amounts of the awards.

    Dated: April 22, 2016.
Clifford Taffet,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development.
