Report Fraud

If you suspect instances of fraud or misconduct relating to AHFA's operations, you can make a report to AHFA’s internal audit staff. All reports will be taken seriously.

Fair Housing

The mission of the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) is to eliminate housing discrimination, promote economic opportunity, and achieve diverse, inclusive communities by leading the nation in the enforcement, administration, development, and public understanding of federal fair housing policies and laws. FHEO protects people from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status.

The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) also provides information as part of educational outreach efforts to help managers of apartments and rental housing units and prospective renters to understand the basic provisions of the Fair Housing Act.

Supportive Housing

Beginning in 2016, AHFA expanded multifamily programs to provide additional funding and incentives on a limited basis for the creation of affordable rental housing for Alabama’s extremely low-income, homeless, and special needs populations. Additionally, AHFA encourages ongoing partnerships between the development community and the Alabama Balance of State Continuum of Care (CoC) and its member agencies to house homeless populations at the local and regional level.  

See our Interactive Map for a list of newly constructed and renovated projects that have set-aside units to meet supportive housing needs. The map contains the number of set-aside units with management contact information, local service providers, and Alabama CoC office locations throughout the state.
