Housing and Real Estate
One of the first signs of a strong healthy community is the existence of well-maintained housing that addresses the needs of a range of income levels. High-quality, affordable housing is a core element of creating communities of choice.
Homes that have rents or mortgage payments within the financial reach of local families ensure that residents have more disposable income to spend on healthcare, food, childcare, and other necessities.
Affordable housing has benefits that extend beyond the walls of a home to the community at large. It boosts spending and employment in the surrounding economy, brings revenue into local governments, stabilizes neighborhoods, improves health and education outcomes, and reduces the likelihood of foreclosure.
To make this all happen, we provide grants, loans and equity for nearly every aspect of development, from planning and acquisition to construction and renovation. We support investment in equitable housing development by providing a variety of loan types for affordable housing projects as well as Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity through our affiliate subsidiary National Equity Fund (NEF). In addition, we offer grant opportunities for capacity building to non-profit Community Development Corporations through our Neighborhood Development Fund. We also provide technical assistance to non-profit housing developers and host an ongoing Community Leadership series designed to provide an opportunity to share and learn industry best practices.
