The Special Needs Housing Trust Fund (SNHTF) provides capital financing to create permanent supportive housing and community residences for individuals with special needs.  The SNHTF Guidelines identify a set of priority considerations for projects seeking funding.  One of these priorities is that projects demonstrate good and appropriate design.  The guidelines prioritize funding projects ‘that are accepted by the community, have reduced operating and maintenance costs and provide for a healthier environment for residents.'

There are three categories for the design criteria, one of which is Sustainability.  The Sustainability guidelines are a part of the Green Future program - review the 2010 Green Future Guidelines for items that apply to the SNHTF.  For more information on the SNHTF program, please call 609.278.7603
