Mission Driven Impact
Throughout Illinois
IHDA ANNUAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2018
The Illinois Housing Development Authority’s mission is to finance the creation and preservation of affordable housing in Illinois.
The principal housing challenges facing Illinois in Fiscal Year 2018 were recovery and revitalization needs at the local level, the lack of affordable homeownership opportunities, and the need to address the growing shortage of affordable rental housing across the state. IHDA met each of these challenges with tangible results.
In FY2018, IHDA’s mortgage assistance and foreclosure mitigation programs provided $66.6 million to help 3,240 families save their home after a loss of income. FY2018 also saw IHDA close over $743.3 million in loans with 5,500 homebuyers, the majority of which purchased their first home in a community targeted for revitalization. Finally, on the rental housing side of our business IHDA invested $332.7 million and leveraged $460.5 million to build or preserve 2,944 affordable units in 36 developments.

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.
FY2018 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. In addition, Moody’s upgraded their ratings on IHDA’s Homeowner Mortgage Revenue Bonds Indenture to Aa2. The Authority also issued $120 million in single family tax-exempt bonds for our first-time homebuyer loan program, $10.69 million in economic refunding of prior Authority bonds, all of which were multifamily related, and issued one new series of short-term tax-exempt Multifamily Revenue Notes totaling $3.0 million to finance the acquisition and rehabilitation of an affordable multifamily development. In addition to the issuances of bonds, as discussed above, the Authority also partnered 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 $6.5 million in such assets for FY2018.
