Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


Both the WV Affordable Housing Trust (the AHT) and the WV Housing Development Fund (the HDF) are self-supporting organizations and this legislation will have no affect on the costs and revenues of the State. Both organizations share a common mission of providing affordable housing. By consolidating the AHT into the HDF as proposed, the cost of operating the AHT can be reduced and government will be streamlined. Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.

Please explain increases and decreases in personal services, current expenses, repairs and alterations, assets, other costs and revenues, including assumptions and data sources and delineation between start-up and ongoing costs. Please also include a long-range schedule of costs and revenues if fiscal impact is expected to vary in future years.
