Major Rehabilitation of a Nonhousing Structure: Union Eagle Senior Apartments
Since the inception of the New Jersey Housing Finance Agency (HFA) and the New Jersey
Mortgage Finance Agency (MFA) in the late 1960s, our focus has been on creating homes
for families seeking affordable rental housing; developing independent living for people with disabilities; providing a stable home for seniors on fixed incomes; and providing assistance to enable residents to buy their own homes.
More than three decades after the merger of these two highly specialized entities on January 17, 1984, today’s streamlined New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency is at the forefront of housing in the state through its loan financing and bond programs; mortgage, down payment and closing costs assistance; and the award of Low Income Housing Tax Credits to expand opportunities for housing that is affordable to our residents.
NJHMFA responds to the needs of its residents by implementing
creative programs and establishing partnerships that:
• Fund affordable home mortgages and workforce housing opportunities for first-time and urban home buyers
• Promote construction and rehabilitation of rental housing
• Encourage mixed-income and owner-occupied housing as a means to stabilize urban neighborhoods
• Advance the growth and development of municipalities
• Contribute to the quality of life of older adults, the disabled and those with special housing needs
• Formulate and strengthen partnerships to foster the economic development of New Jersey
NJHMFA raises program funds by:
• Selling taxable and tax-exempt bonds to private sector investors in national financial markets
• Administering the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program for New Jersey
• Applying for and administering federal and state grants as well as housing assistance programs
• Developing cooperative relationships with county, municipal, not-for-profit agencies, foundations and the private real estate development industry
