Created by the Nebraska Legislature in 1983, the Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA) is a self-supporting public entity dedicated to making housing and agricultural opportunities more accessible for Nebraskans. NIFA does not operate on state tax dollars; instead, it raises capital by acting as a conduit issuer of tax-exempt bonds and through other financing mechanisms. The funds generated are then used to finance a wide range of programs, including those for first-time homebuyers, affordable rental housing development, and beginning farmers and ranchers, thereby serving as a key resource for affordable finance across the state.
