2015 Analysis

New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority publishes an annual report of its activities for each fiscal year, as required by statute.

2019 Annual Report

New Hampshire Housing commissioned a study to determine the occupancy profile of Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties in the state. The study was conducted by Bruce Mayberry of BCM Planning LLC in 2017. The study provides demographic, educational attainment levels, employment status and other demographic information of typical tenants within these properties.

LHTC Occupancy Study

The study, conducted by AECm focuses on construction costs of affordable (for-sale at less than $300,000) single-family homes in urban, suburban, and rural communities. With assumptions of land costs, it concludes that constructing affordable single-family homes is viable using various construction methods.

Study

Each year, New Hampshire Housing conducts a statewide survey to monitor market rate rental housing costs and provide housing data to the general public and organizations that administer housing programs.

2019 Survey

New Hampshire Housing is required to prepare or update on a biennial basis a state housing plan to address the housing needs of low- and moderate-income individuals and families. The plan is submitted to the Governor and Executive Council, the Speaker of the House, and the President of the Senate for comment. Although this is by definition a two-year plan, housing needs analysis and housing program planning are conducted annually.
