National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) Working toward an affordably housed nation, in Washington and across the country.

The National Council of State Housing Agencies (NCSHA) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization created by the nation's state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs) more than 40 years ago to coordinate and leverage their federal advocacy efforts for affordable housing. What began as a small group of executive directors meeting annually has grown into a powerful national association and advocate for HFAs and affordable housing in Washington. NCSHA represents its members in Washington before Congress, the Administration, and the several federal agencies concerned with housing, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Agriculture, and the Treasury, and with other advocates for affordable housing. At the center of HFA activity within the states and NCSHA’s work in Washington are three federally authorized programs:

Housing Bonds
Housing Credit
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)

NCSHA is the principal advocate in Washington for both Housing Bonds and the Housing Credit and the principal state advocate for HOME. Our mission is to advance the nation's state Housing Finance Agencies' efforts through advocacy and education and to provide affordable housing to those who need it. NCSHA members include state HFAs, the District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, agencies that allocate the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) in the states where an HFA does not, and over 300 affiliate members in the affordable housing field.
