Florida Housing Finance Corporation: Hurricane Michael | From Devastation to A Place to Call Home
When Hurricane Michael made landfall as a Category 5 storm it barreled into Florida’s Panhandle devastating and displacing hundreds of thousands of residents and families. Florida Housing Finance Corporation (Florida Housing) used $5 million in unrestricted funds to create the Hurricane Michael Recovery Loan Program. The program provided below market 30-year, fixed rate first mortgages and up to $15,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance in impacted counties.
Delaware State Housing Authority | Homes for Grads
In Delaware, at least 65 percent of college graduates will leave school with student loan debt averaging more than $36,000. All too often, those graduates are choosing not to buy a home in the near-term or are considering never buying a home due to the financial challenges caused by significant student loan debt. To address some of the barriers these buyers face, DSHA launched a new initiative in 2019 called Homes for Grads to help recent college graduates purchase a home in Delaware.

Minnesota Housing | Annual Funding Announcement
On November 21, Minnesota Housing announced $254 million in funding to create and preserve more than 2,665 homes throughout the state. Communicating the impact of numbers like these can be challenging. For years, our annual funding announcement has felt similar to a traditional grand opening where public officials follow each other up to the podium. This year, we moved away from that model. Instead, we turned to a conversation-based event to communicate the impact of our work.
MassHousing | Mission Possible – NCSHA Destination Guide and Video
To welcome NCSHA and all conference attendees to the City of Boston and to show what the city has to offer, MassHousing produced the 2019 Boston Destination Guide and made it available on everyone’s cell phone. And, instead of traditional opening remarks, MassHousing created a “Welcome to Boston” video starring MassHousing’s Executive Staff.
