SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1131 of HERA, Division A amended the 
Act to add a new section 1337 entitled ``Affordable Housing 
Allocations'' and a new section 1338 entitled ``Housing Trust Fund.'' 
Congress authorized the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) with the stated 
purpose of: (1) Increasing and preserving the supply of rental housing 
for extremely low-income families with incomes between 0 and 30 percent 
of area median income and very low-income families with incomes between 
30 and 50 percent of area median income, including homeless families, 
and (2) increasing homeownership for extremely low-income and very low-
income families. Section 1337 of the Act (12 U.S.C. 4567) requires 
Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and Federal Home 
Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) to set-aside 4.2 basis points 
(.042 percent) of the unpaid principal of their new mortgage purchases 
annually to fund the HTF and the Capital Magnet Fund. Each year, 65% of 
the amounts set aside by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are then allocated 
to the HTF.
    Section 1338 of the Act (12 U.S.C. 4568) directs HUD to establish, 
through regulation, the formula for the distribution of amounts made 
available for the HTF. The provisions in section 1338(c)(3) of the Act 
(12 U.S.C. 4568(c)(3)) specify the factors to be used for the formula 
and priority for certain factors. The HTF implementing regulations are 
at 24 CFR part 93. The factors and methodology HUD uses to allocate HTF 
funds among eligible grantees are established in the HTF regulation at 
24 CFR 93.50, 93.51, and 93.52.
    The funding announced for Fiscal Year 2023 through this notice is 
$382,361,726.94. Appendix A to this notice provides the HTF allocation 
amount for each grantee.

Maria Claudette Fernandez,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development.
