Partnerships

The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust has the unique capacity to forge investment partnerships with public and private organizations at the local, state and national levels. The Trust is a long-term partner in building housing and supporting community development. The Trust is committed to working with communities in all phases of housing development and financing.

The Trust offers a variety of attractive loan products that offer the flexibility needed to develop multifamily housing. In addition to approximately $3.5 billion in assets, the HIT also has the technical expertise required to structure complex transactions taking into account the project's unique characteristics and utilizing additional public and private investment dollars to make the project feasible and affordable.

Some of the Trust's longstanding partners include state housing finance agencies such as the Illinois Housing Development Authority, local housing development offices such as the City of New York's Department of Housing Preservation and Development as well as national housing advocacy groups such as the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the National Housing Conference, the Enterprise Foundation and Local Initiatives Support Coalition.

The Trust also works in conjunction with groups focused on improving the lives of America's working families such as the Partnership for Working Families.
