Building quality affordable homes

How we operate

With the help of partners in each location, we make affordable homes a reality. As a nonprofit developer, we receive development fees for each project we undertake. These are used to pay project-related expenses and help fund future developments.

Simply put: the last successful project funds the work of the next.

Our projects typically are financed through public-private partnerships that include local housing authority funds, government bonds, affordable housing financing, low-income tax credits, and private subsidies.

Our partners

Developing and building affordable housing is a multifaceted endeavor that requires a coalition of government and community organizations, financial corporations, nonprofits, architects, and construction firms. We also work with other developers, sharing our experience and mentoring for successful outcomes.

These partners contribute financing and expertise to ensure compliance with government regulations. Typically, the financing package for an affordable housing project is very complex. That’s why we formed a strategic partnership with Soho Housing Partners called Paces Preservation Partners. In this partnership, we contribute industry-leading affordable housing development and preservation services and Soho provides much-needed expertise in structuring complex financial solutions.

To give you an idea, below please find the key partners that are working with us to build Metropolitan Place in Atlanta, Georgia. We’re proud to serve alongside these organizations and many more to bring this property to life.

Each housing community we work with carries a similar sampling of partners.
