The Trust Fund is administered by MHDC and provides increased affordable housing opportunities for very low-income families through its support of community-based assistance programs. Programs receiving funding include emergency aid, home repair, operating support, rental assistance, homeless prevention, homeless shelter and transitional housing construction and rehabilitation and multifamily housing projects.

With this year's funding allocations, the Trust Fund will have provided more than $20 million in housing assistance since its inception in 1996. The money is generated through a $3 fee on the recording of all real estate-related documents in the state.

All individuals assisted with MHTF funds must have income at, or below, 50 percent of the median family income for the geographic area, adjusted for family size. At least half of the funds awarded over each two-year period must be used to assist individuals with income levels at, or below, 25 percent of the area median income, adjusted for family size.
