TopGovernmentGrants Editorial StaffThe State of New York Mortgage Agency, more commonly referred to as SONYMA, is a public authority that was established in the year 1970 in an attempt to provide reasonable and affordable home-ownership opportunities to low and moderate income New Yorkers, especially to first time home buyers.
