Housing trust funds are established sources of funding for affordable housing construction and other related purposes created by governments in the United States (U.S.). Housing Trust Funds (HTF) began as a way of funding affordable housing in the late 1970s. Since then, elected government officials from all levels of government (national, state, county and local) in the U.S. have established housing trust funds to support the construction, acquisition, and preservation of affordable housing and related services to meet the housing needs of low-income households. Ideally, HTFs are funded through dedicated revenues like real estate transfer taxes or document recording fees to ensure a steady stream of funding rather than being dependent on regular budget processes. By 2009, 700 trust funds in states, cities and counties existed across the U.S. and allocated nearly $1 billion for housing-related needs. ==Funding== Trust Funds are typically funded with a dedicated source of revenue, though they can be funded through general budget allocations. They may also be funded through capital dollars backed by government bonds. The size of revenues also varies from fund to fund. A survey of 145 trust funds showed that 1/5th received more than $10 million per year, but the large majority (82%) received less than $5 million or no funding at all. The following is a non-exhaustive list of funding sources for various types of Housing Trust Funds in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Housing Trust Fund Websites )〕 Sources of funding for State Housing Trust Funds include: * Unclaimed Property or Lottery Funds * Interest on Broker, Title or other Real Estate Escrow Accounts * Document Recording Fees (fees placed on documents recorded with government agencies) * General Funds * Government General Obligation (GO) Bond Revenues * Real Estate Conveyance or Transfer Taxes * State Income Taxes * Unspent Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Reserves * Section 8 Reserves * Fees from Mobile Home Park Owners * Interest from Budget Stabilization or Surplus Funds * Interest from Tenant Security Deposits * Eviction Court Fees * Penalties On Late Real Estate Excise Taxes (taxes on the purchase price of real estate) * Origination Fees Sources of funding for County Housing Trust Funds include: * Impact Fees * Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fees (fees paid in-lieu of providing affordable housing in a development) * General Funds * Private or Foundation Contributions * Restaurant Taxes * Government General Obligation (GO) Bond Revenues * Real Estate Transfer Taxes * Condominium Conversion Fees * Sales Of County Surplus Land (land purchased by the county that is no longer needed) * Document Recording Fees * Sales Taxes * Developer Proffers (fees paid to make a development more appealing for government approval) Sources of funding for Local Housing Trust Funds include: * General Funds * Capital Improvement Project Funds * Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Funds * Impact Fees * Tobacco Settlement Funds * Hotel Occupancy Taxes * Public Benefit Funds * Government General Obligation (GO) Bond Revenues * Condominium Conversion Fees * Real Estate Transfer Taxes * Sales Taxes * Property Taxes, including dedicated levies * Housing Excise Taxes * Inclusionary Zoning In-Lieu Fees * Disposal Waste Fees * State Funding Allocations * Sales of City Surplus Land (land purchased by the city that is no longer needed) * Parking Garage Proceeds (revenue from city-owned parking garage operation) * Developer Proffers (fees paid to make a development more appealing for government approval) * Permit Fees 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Housing trust fund」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
