It all started with a dream and a group of compassionate, like-minded people joining together more than thirty years ago to address a critical need in our society – affordable housing. Since then, we’ve grown into a private, nonprofit real estate development and finance corporation.

We foster partnerships.

We’re focused on bringing people together in pursuit of solving the affordable housing crisis. We know we can’t do it alone. Throughout our journey, we’ve developed lasting partnerships with civic leaders, investors, developers, government officials, nonprofits and a host of others who share our passion for service and love for community.

We're as diverse as our communities.

We represent the people and communities we serve. Our team is focused on providing the right solutions for each community, and ensuring all voices are heard. Our love for people is boundless, and has helped us bring affordable homes and vibrant, thriving neighborhoods to those who need it most.

We’re grounded by our mission and core values.

As a group, we are steadfast in our mission to transform lives, communities, and what is possible through affordable housing. Our vision is thriving communities where everyone has an opportunity to succeed. And our core values define us and guide our behavior and decisions.
