Predevelopment and Interim Financing
The National Housing Trust provides loans through the National Housing Trust Community Development Fund (NHTCDF) to overcome a major obstacle facing affordable housing preservation: the lack of predevelopment and interim financing available to nonprofits.
NHTCDF is the only certified nationwide Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) exclusively dedicated to providing predevelopment and interim financing to preserve and improve affordable homes.
Since its inception in 1999, we've made more than $8.7 million in loans, leveraging $418 million in private investment, helping to preserve nearly 5,000 affordable homes.

Twining Terrace Cooperative: On the Path to Preservation

| Celebrating approval of NHTCDF loan. |
| After 25 years without significant renovations and major building systems in disrepair, the residents of Twining Terrace Cooperative in Washington, D.C. realized they needed to take action to save their homes. But before major work could even begin, the cooperative association needed to develop a comprehensive construction plan that included engineering assessments, appraisals, contractor bidding, and many other predevelopment needs. The problem: Taking these steps cost money that the cooperative did not have on hand. In response, they turned to the National Housing Trust for help.
On May 16, the Twining Terrace Cooperative Association and NHTCDF, in partnership with the Enterprise Community Loan Fund, closed on a $475,000 loan to cover predevelopment expenses.
With the Trust's predevelopment money in hand, residents can now pursue substantial renovations that will improve their living environments. Joyce Smith, president of the Twining Terrace cooperative association, summed up the importance of the planned repairs: "We have remained in existence this long due to the grace of the Almighty, an excellent Board of Directors and the knowledgeable advisors we have had. Twining wishes to remain an operational housing cooperative for many, many, more years and this renovation project we are undertaking will keep [Twining] ongoing."
