Lending Overview

Through two affiliates, the National Housing Trust provides capital to meet the needs of mission driven affordable housing developers who are preserving and improving at risk existing affordable homes or creating permanently affordable housing opportunities through community land trusts and shared equity housing. We provide access to the flexible, below-market financing that is critical to ensuring that affordable housing opportunities are not lost.
