LIIF, SAHF and NAHT Joint Venture

In late 2020, LIIF, Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF) and National Affordable Housing Trust (NAHT) entered into a joint venture. We aligned this partnership around a shared commitment to housing equity, with a goal to raise $1 billion over the first five years of the partnership to build, protect and preserve approximately 10,000 affordable homes across the country. Through this joint venture with NAHT, LIIF will not only be equipped to provide equity for projects and developers, but also development consulting services and expertise that will allow existing clients to expand their capacity. For investors of both LIIF and NAHT, the array of impact lending and equity options will allow them to grow their impact—delivering a measurable social impact in addition to a financial impact. More information for developers and investors is available on the NAHT website
