Iola BonggayThe Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, otherwise termed as CHFA, is an independent quasi-public housing agency in the State of Connecticut that was established in the year 1969 in an effort to alleviate or totally eradicate the issues regarding the lack or insufficient supply of affordable housing opportunities for Connecticut’s low- and moderate-income families and individuals.
The programs of the CHFA are thoroughly designed to contribute to the realization of its mission which is to "help alleviate the shortage of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families and persons in Connecticut, and when appropriate, to promote or maintain the economic development of the State through employer-assisted housing efforts."
