METHODOLOGY:

This bill appropriates $5 million to the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority for deposit into the affordable housing fund to provide financing or state matching funds for affordable housing to fund the appropriation.  The State Treasurer is authorized to issue bonds and notes in the name of and behalf of the State.  The Treasury Department states this bill will increase state general fund expenditures by $125,000 in FY 2018, $542,500 in FY 2019, $527,500 in FY 2020, and $512,500 in FY 2021.

 

The State Treasury indicates the amount of total outstanding direct general obligation bonded indebtedness on behalf of and incurred by the state as of June 30, 2016 is $828 million (not including bond anticipation notes outstanding).  The amount of net general obligation bonded indebtedness (general improvement plus University System of New Hampshire bonds), as of June 30, 2016 is $606 million.  The estimated amount of net general obligation bonds authorized, but unissued, as of June 30, 2016 is $283.3 million.

 

The Treasury Department assumes the proposed bond authorization would be issued by December 2017.  Current interest bond rates are assumed fixed at 5% and amortized over 20 years (60% of the principal paid in the first ten years, 40% paid in the second 10 years).  An estimated debt retirement schedule for all outstanding direct general obligation bonded indebtedness, including the proposed authorization contained in this bill through FY 2021, is displayed below (in thousands):

Fiscal Existing Additional Total

Year Debt Obligation Debt Obligation Debt Obligation

2018 $87,970 $125 $88,095

2019 $86,675 $543 $87,218

2020 $82,545 $528 $83,073

2021 $70,385 $513 $70,898

 

The New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority indicates, aside from the appropriation, the bill would have no direct impact on state, county or local revenues or on county and local expenditures.  The appropriation to the Affordable Housing Fund would be allocated to finance suitable housing developments.
