Employer-Assisted Housing Fund (EAHF)

The Employer-Assisted Housing Fund is a state-funded initiative designed to help employers invest in housing solutions for income-eligible households. By bringing together employers, local governments, housing professionals, and MSHDA, the fund tackles economic challenges by ensuring workers have access to affordable homes near their jobs. Employers that contribute matching funds (cash investments, land donation, below-market interest loans, etc.) may qualify for resources to help develop new housing options. Rental housing must remain affordable for at least 10 years and for-sale housing must remain affordable for five years. When open, completed applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis.
