Housing as an Asset Class

The goal of this report is to identify promising reforms and opportunities to deploy more investment capital to create and preserve secure, inclusive, and sustainable housing and communities. The public and philanthropic sectors can play an important role in reshaping the current system to generate more private investment in activities that fill the housing shortage and create inclusive and equitable neighborhoods. In fact, through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), and the work of the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund, the public sector has already proven itself capable of drawing private capital to affordable housing. Similarly, philanthropy has shown the power of guarantees and program-related investments to chart a new course for private capital in affordable housing.
