Programs

The Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) offers affordable housing opportunities for Ohioans including first-time homebuyers, renters, senior citizens, and other populations with special needs who otherwise might not be able to afford quality housing. The Agency's programs are divided into four main categories:

Homeownership Programs

OHFA offers a variety of programs to assist Ohioans with purchasing or refinancing a home. Learn about our homeownership programs.

Housing Development Programs

OHFA provides developers of low- to moderate-income housing with access to financial resources and tax incentives through a variety of programs that support the development and management of quality, affordable housing for Ohioans. Learn about our housing development programs.

Program Compliance

OHFA helps property managers and owners of OHFA-financed rental properties remain compliant with state and federal housing regulations. Our comprehensive compliance monitoring program makes it easier for managers and owners to ensure that Ohioans receive safe, decent, affordable housing. Learn about program compliance.

CHDO Competitive Operating Grant Program

Every other year, OHFA awards grants to qualified, nonprofit Community Housing Development Organizations to support the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of quality, affordable rental or single-family housing.
