Building A Better Illinois
IHDA ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2019
Affordable housing is a fundamental component of strong communities and serves as the foundation of personal and economic well-being. Where a family lives determines access to schools, jobs, transportation, healthcare and more. For these reasons, expanding the availability and access to quality housing is one of the most essential actions we can take on behalf of Illinois families.
In Fiscal Year 2019, together with our partners, the Illinois Housing Development Authority made great progress toward meeting the state’s housing needs. Together we invested $1.5 billion in state, federal and leveraged affordable housing financing to create and preserve 9,845 affordable homes or apartments across the state. We launched new programs, expanded our reach into underserved communities, and delivered new housing opportunities through efficient administration of IHDA’s core programs.
The Illinois Housing Development Authority’s mission is to finance the creation and preservation of affordable housing in Illinois.

Financial Strength Through Stability
IHDA is a bonding authority and independently sells bonds and other debt instruments to support our activities. Our financial strength enables us to access capital at a lower cost and transfer the savings to homeowners and developers in the form of lower interest rates.
FY2019 RESOURCE HIGHLIGHTS
The Authority successfully maintained a strong rating with issuer credit ratings of A1, AA-, and AA- from Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch Ratings, respectively. The Authority issued $377.75 million in single family tax-exempt bonds for our first-time homebuyer loan program and $23.12 million in economic refunding of prior Authority single family bonds. In addition to the issuances of bonds, as discussed above, the Authority has continued to partner with the Federal Financing Bank (“FFB”) on a multifamily risk share program. This risk share program has allowed the Authority to increase originations and add insured long-term assets to our portfolio. The Authority has created $56 million in such assets for FY2019.
