Happy New Fiscal Year! We're now a month in to FY2023, and perhaps you have welcomed new staff recently or plan to soon. While working through your onboarding process, remember to explore and include the training and informational resources available to you from AHFA, NCSHA, and HUD.   

AHFA offers a high-level overview of the affordable housing programs administered in Alabama by AHFA in the Multifamily Essentials Training Capsule. For those non-profit organizations interested in competing for the CHDO Set-Aside, the AHFA CHDO Training Capsule will be helpful. On our Data & Statistical Information page, you can find reference material and information about AHFA-funded projects in Alabama. Various application instructions and notes are updated and released before the opening of application cycles. AHFA also provides a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) which we update regularly. Please ask new staff to sign up to receive information from AHFA about releases of new and updated materials and training opportunities as they are made available.
