Affordable housing expansion THDA actively funds and partners on affordable housing developments across Tennessee, presenting multiple opportunities to engage with local developers, housing authorities, and non-profits to provide financing, grants, and program guidance.

Grants and partnerships Recent and ongoing grants to cities and housing authorities (e.g., Columbia, Jackson Housing Authority, Highlands Residential Services) indicate receptive government contacts and potential for multi-party collaborations to scale affordable housing projects.

Down payment support THDA offers up to 4% down-payment assistance and requires pre-purchase counseling, creating a sales angle to connect with prospective homebuyers, real estate agents, and counseling partners to drive program adoption.

Financing via private lenders THDA is not a direct lender but purchases qualified mortgages originated through private-sector partners, suggesting an opportunity to position lender collaborations, mortgage brokers, and fintech integrations that align with THDA’s mortgage purchase model.

Tech and modernization The agency uses modern tech stacks (Microsoft 365, React, PHP/.NET, Gravity Forms) which could indicate openness to digital partnership, grant management systems, and process automation enhancements that procurement teams and IT vendors can propose.
