Guide to State Housing Agencies and Authorities

Work with state housing agencies and authorities for increased real estate sales


A state real estate agency is there when potential buyers need an extra boost getting into a home. First-time home buyers often need special assistance with financing and qualifying for interest rates that make their dream of home ownership a reality.

The housing finance authority in your state helps low income families and people without credit get loans who, in many cases, couldn’t qualify otherwise. The state housing authority in any state works with special needs families as a bridge from state subsidized housing to ownership.

State housing agencies have immediate access to bank repossessions and HUD homes not readily available to other types of realtors. State housing authority programs work with real estate brokers to get the right people in the right houses at the right price and financing.

State and local housing agencies usually operate under a board of directors and have a variety of different relationships with the states in which they work. State housing finance agencies work not only to get people into affordable homes, but also help develop neighborhoods and sponsor community revitalization programs. Work with state housing agencies and authorities to:

1. Match poor credit or no credit clients with quality housing.

2. Invest in developing areas through state housing authority programs.

3. Find affordable loan rates, terms and special programs for qualifying clients through state housing finance agencies.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find state housing agencies that work with bad credit or no credit clients Financing is a hurdle many people face when their credit history is less than stellar. With the right help, even low income home buyers find financing through state housing finance authorities and government programs.

I recommend:  Try the Accent Mortgage Company down payment assistance program available in many states, and FHA's low down payment or zero down payment options.

Work with the state housing authority in developing neighborhoods Finding quality home buyers to invest in revitalized areas or neighborhoods under development is the best way to improve home values in any area. The state housing authority has information about areas under improvement and grant and loan programs available to help in the development process.

I recommend:  HUD's Community Renewal Initiative gives information about tax incentives for developments in poor urban areas. Find out about public housing and development issues by contacting the Public Housing Authorities Directors Association (PHADA) for links to state housing authorities.

Look for special programs for low income first time home buyers through state housing agencies State housing agencies want to match the right person with the right home. It's good for community building and it's good for business owners. Getting low income families into special housing opportunities is the best way to improve old neighborhoods and make home buying dreams a reality.

I recommend:  Visit the National Council of State Housing Agencies for information on state housing authorities and programs in your area. Also check out the Housing and Urban Development website for information on mixed housing communities with ownership possibilities.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • If you've got a difficult individual home buying situation that's difficult, don't give up. Contact your state housing authority for information on which housing agency or funding program is the right choice for your clients.
