Trying to sum up a year of work during a global pandemic is difficult. In our almost 50-year history, 2020 stands out as one of the most challenging years as we worked to fulfill our mission. Despite the challenges, RIHousing was able to respond to the demands for housing and services while creating and launching new programs and providing resources to meet the needs of Rhode Islanders.
In 2020, RIHousing invested $800M into Rhode Island's economy.
$401M
in mortgages and assistance for homebuyers
$197M
in financing to construct or rehabilitate 1,103 apartments
$202M
in rental assistance to 17,658 households
A year like no other requires an annual report like no other.
This year’s annual report has a new look and format and includes data, program updates, videos and more to highlight the many ways in which we responded to the COVID-19 pandemic while meeting the housing needs of Rhode Islanders.
As we move through 2021 and look toward the future, we are committed to positioning Rhode Islanders and Rhode Island for success. It will take bold investments, strategic deployment of resources and innovation.
We are excited to get to work.
