The North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (NDHFA) has committed more than $20 million from its Housing Incentive Fund (HIF) to 18 projects across the state.
The 2013 Legislature reauthorized HIF at $35.4 million with a priority of providing housing for essential service workers in energy-impacted counties and preserving and providing for low- and moderate-income households.
NDHFA received 26 applications requesting more than $36 million. Applicants that set aside units for essential workers received a scoring preference. More than half of the successful applicants reserved units specifically for these workers, including police officers, teachers, and nurses.
