The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) was created by the Connecticut Legislature in 1969 as a self-supporting quasi-public agency to expand affordable housing opportunities for Connecticut’s low- and moderate-income families and individuals. It operates within the financial services sector, offering low-interest mortgage programs for single-family homes and financing for multifamily rental housing. CHFA has helped more than 130,000 Connecticut residents become homeowners and financed over 35,000 affordable rental units, with total mortgage financing surpassing $11 billion; it is rated AAA by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. The agency is based in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, and maintains a relatively small workforce. In 2026 CHFA announced plans to host a Making Homeownership Possible seminar in Danbury, signaling ongoing community engagement.
