The National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies (NALHFA),
founded in 1982, is the national association of professionals working to
finance affordable housing in the broader community development context
at the local level. As a non-profit association, NALHFA is an advocate
before Congress and federal agencies on legislative and regulatory
issues affecting affordable housing and provides technical assistance
and educational opportunities to its members and the public. Members are
city and county agencies, non-profits, and private firms, such as
underwriters, consultants, financial advisers, bond counsels, and rating
agencies, which help in producing housing from concept to completion.
