The Housing and Home Finance Agency (HHFA) was responsible for the principal housing programs of the United States from 1947 to 1965. It was superseded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and preceded by the National Housing Agency. The HHFA was led by former Federal Housing Administration Commissioner, Raymond M. Foley, from its inception in 1947 to 1953[1] and by former Kansas Congressman Albert M. Cole from 1953 to 1959 where he oversaw the Housing Act of 1954.[2] In 1960 Jack T. Conway became the Deputy Administrator and acting Administrator until Robert C. Weaver's appointment in February 1961 through to its dissolution in 1965 when Robert C. Weaver took over as the Secretary of the superseding Department of Housing and Urban Development.
