relative to the housing finance authority's affordable housing guarantee program.
SB 86 amends New Hampshire law to clarify that the state's full faith and credit supports the Housing Finance Authority's affordable housing guarantee program. It requires the state treasurer to provide funds from the treasury to the authority when needed to cover guaranteed obligations, with reports to the fiscal committee. This directly affects the Housing Finance Authority and the affordable housing projects it supports by ensuring state-backed financial backing for their guarantee program. The bill focuses on the funding mechanism, not new housing policies or outcomes.
