Operative Text
The Alabama Affordable Housing Trust Fund is created in the State Treasury for the collection and distribution of designated funds for the purpose of increasing the production of housing units, rehabilitating existing housing units, and maintaining such housing so that it can be made affordable to individuals and families whose incomes are at or below 60 percent of the median family income. The Alabama Housing Trust Fund shall be administered by ADECA which shall appoint an advisory committee as prescribed in Section 24-10-8 to advise the Director of ADECA as to program components and operations.
Section 24-10-4 of the Alabama Code establishes the Alabama Affordable Housing Trust Fund as a dedicated account within the State Treasury. Its purpose is to channel funds toward building new housing units, repairing existing ones, and keeping that housing affordable for households earning at or below 60 percent of the area median family income. The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) administers the fund and is required to appoint an advisory committee, as outlined in Section 24-10-8, to guide program decisions.

Under Ala. Code § 24-10-4, ADECA administers the Alabama Affordable Housing Trust Fund, which can serve as a potential funding source for developers and property owners engaged in building or rehabilitating affordable housing. Operators who work with income-restricted housing serving households at or below 60 percent of median family income may find this fund relevant to their project financing. Staying informed about ADECA's program guidelines and the advisory committee's recommendations under Section 24-10-8 is a common practice for those seeking to participate in trust fund programs.
