Our ability to be flexible, fast and accountable has earned us the trust of the U.S. Congress, the administration, financial institutions, local governments and nonprofit organizations.
We tackle some of the nation's biggest housing and community development challenges:
- Access to affordable, sustainable homeownership.
- Safe, quality rental homes.
- Foreclosure mitigation and recovery.
- Community resiliency in the wake of disasters like Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina.
- Professional training and certification for those in the field.
If you have a policy, legislative or regulatory questions, email us.
We report annually to Congress on our performance, as well as provide feedback from the field on federal policies and regulations through Comment Letters.
We also support a number of research efforts, including a fellowship program with Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies. These reports and other research are offered free to professionals and the public.
Budget Justification
Annually, each federally funded organization is required to develop and present to Congress a detailed budget request for the coming fiscal year.
The budget request details recent accomplishments, how the organization spent previously appropriated money and what the organization expects to accomplish with new funds. All requests are included in the President's budget, which is presented to Congress every year.
Reports to Congress
In line with our commitment to transparency and our fiduciary duty, we produce annual reports to Congress on our yearly performance. We also produce an annual report for the public each year.
