2016 was a record-breaking year for RIHousing. Under the leadership of Governor Gina Raimondo and the General Assembly, our state's economy continued to grow, and we are proud to say that RIHousing was a significant partner.   In 2016, we had an overall economic impact of $657 million to the state's economy while putting Rhode Islanders to work.

Housing is a critical component of a healthy economy. Housing investments strengthen our workforce, bolster our state's construction and real estate industries and ensure that Rhode Island families have access to housing opportunities that meet their needs. 

RIHousing is positioned to continue strengthening our communities and our economy in 2017.  We look forward to working with all our partners to assist more Rhode Islanders.  Investing in homes. Creating jobs. Retaining and attracting talent.
