Historical Note
The State Housing Authority was established in 1943. On January 3, 1951 its duties and responsibilities transferred to the Department of Public Works, Housing Division. They transferred again in 1967 to the Department of Community Affairs, Bureau of Housing. The Department of Community Affairs was abolished in 1977 and its housing programs were consolidated under the Department of Economic Development. On July 1, 1977 the Department of Housing was established. Responsibilities for operating established state housing programs were transferred from the Department of Economic Development and the Department of Housing became the lead agency for housing matters. On October 1, 1995 the Department of Housing merged into the new Department of Economic and Community Development, becoming the Housing Division.
