NCSHA’s members are:

• the HFAs of every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands,
• the agencies that allocate the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit) in the two states where an HFA does not, and
• approximately 350 profit and nonprofit firms in the affordable housing field.

NCSHA represents its members in Washington before Congress, the Administration, and several federal agencies concerned with housing, including HUD 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:

• the Mortgage Revenue Bond (MRB),
• the Housing Credit, and
• the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program.

NCSHA is the principal advocate in Washington for both MRBs and the Housing Credit and the principal state advocate for HOME.
