Healthy Communities Begin with Affordable Housing Options

Building communities of opportunity requires that people at all income levels have decent, affordable places to live and thrive. This means proactively engaging with policy makers, housing developers, community groups and investors to foster housing efforts that help build assets while preserving long-term affordability. At Capital Impact Partners, we deliver capital and commitment through strategic financing, policy efforts, and program development to support affordable housing efforts across the country.

Our Affordable Housing Solutions

While many traditional lenders are reluctant to enter uncertain housing markets, Capital Impact Partners sees opportunity. We bring years of experience of actively stewarding investments in local programs that offer safe and sustainable housing opportunities to families nationally.

Capacity Building

We examine and advocate for scenarios to help community development and finance leaders create housing programs and development trajectories that cultivate a healthy income mix in order to best serve neighborhoods in the long term.

Financing for Affordable Housing

Our team of mission-driven lenders work to ensure that affordable housing projects that support healthy communities receive the financing they need. We provide a variety of loans from pre-development to tenant improvements to full scale construction.

Public Policy

By actively engaging state and federal policy makers as well as community leaders we are committed to creating and preserving programs that support long-term affordability and inclusive communities.

Why Affordable Housing is Important

Affordable housing development fuels economic growth in a variety of ways. Stable neighborhoods support paths to homeownership and asset growth. That, in turn, attracts new investments which help create jobs and increase local spending.

Access to affordable housing frees up financial resources that allow low-income residents to invest in those services that support their long term health including insurance and health care services, day care and education, and more nutritious food.

When communities support residents across a broad spectrum of socio-economic statuses, that allows governments to free up spending on homeless, health and other social programs and invest in other key areas.
