Description of the need for the

Section 1338 of the Federal Housing 

Enterprises Financial Safety and 

Soundness Act of Public Law 101–625 

(104 Stat. 4079), Title II of the CranstonGonzalez National Affordable Housing 

Act of 1992 and by the Federal Housing 

Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008, 

as amended, established the Housing 

Trust Fund (HTF) Program Rule. In 

accordance with the statute the Act 

requires a percentage of the unpaid 

principal balance of total new business 

for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to be 

allocated as a dedicated source of 

annual funding for the HTF, unless 

allocations are suspended by the 

Director of the Federal Housing Finance 

Agency. HUD will allocate HTF funds 

by formula to eligible states or statedesignated entities to increase and 

preserve the supply of decent, safe, 

sanitary, and affordable housing, with 

primary attention to rental housing for 

extremely low-income and very lowincome households. The amount of 

funds available by the formula is the 

balance remaining after providing for 

other purposes authorized by Congress, 

in accordance with the Act and 

Appropriations. At least 80% of the 

funds must be spent on rental housing 

and no more than 10% may be spent to 

assist first-time homebuyers. The 

remaining 10% may be used for 

administration. States may choose to 

administer HTF funds directly or may 

assign all or part of the funds to 

subgrantees to administer its allocation, 

such as a state housing finance agency 

or units of local government. States may 

use HTF funds for the production, 

preservation, and rehabilitation of 

affordable rental housing and affordable 

housing for homeownership through the 

acquisition, new construction, 

reconstruction, or rehabilitation of nonluxury affordable housing with suitable 

amenities. States and/or designated 

entities will ensure housing compliance 

with title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 

1964, the Fair Housing Act, Section 504 

of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 

Section 109 of Title I of the Housing and 

Community Development Act of 1974,

promotion of greater choice of housing 

opportunities. 

Under the HTF Statute, HUD will
