Financing the Creation and Preservation of Affordable Housing in Illinois
About us
The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) finances the creation and preservation of affordable housing in Illinois.
IHDA was created by the state legislature in 1967 as a self-supporting agency to finance affordable housing across Illinois. IHDA does not use taxpayer dollars to sustain its operations, although it does administer publicly funded programs on behalf of the state. Since its creation, IHDA has provided more than $15 billion to finance a quarter million affordable homes.
IHDA accomplishes its mission through a number of funding sources including the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Illinois Affordable Housing Tax Credits, the allocation of federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and HOME Investment Partnership funds. IHDA is also a bonding authority and independently sells bonds, based on our strong credit rating of A1/AA-/AA- from Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings respectively.
We partner with lenders, developers, local government, nonprofits, community groups and others to deliver low-cost financing programs. We provide financial assistance to low- and moderate-income homebuyers and homeowners, offer resources to developers who build or preserve affordable and mixed-income rental housing and provide oversight for hundreds of affordable rental communities across the state.

Today, IHDA Executive Director Kristin Faust joined JB Pritzker and other housing stakeholders for the signing of an executive order to explore how Illinois can accelerate plans to expand the supply and access of housing for working families. One of the first steps in this initiative is the relaunch of the SmartBuy homebuyer assistance program. SmartBuy offers an affordable 30-year fixed rate first mortgage with $5,000 in deferred down payment and/or closing cost assistance. In addition, the program provides up to $40,000 in student loan relief to borrowers buying a home in Illinois. Potential applicants must have at least $1,000 in student loan debt and must pay off their full remaining student loan debt balance, if more than $40,000, at closing. SmartBuy requirements, select network of lenders, and additional program information can be found online at https://ow.ly/CfjW50Upnsl.
