Debt Financing for
Affordable Housing

Page introduction paragraphs

CDT is a national investor providing equity and debt financing solutions for the acquisition and preservation or development of affordable multifamily rental housing.

We work with non-profit and for-profit partners who are experienced in building, acquiring, rehabilitating, and managing affordable housing communities.

We invest for the long term, providing the capital necessary to acquire a property or restructure a property’s ownership, address capital needs, replace major systems, and add amenities such as recreational facilities and community centers.

Our operating partners include many of the country’s leading specialists in preservation—multifamily developers, owners, and managers with a strong local presence—who invest alongside CDT.

Terms for specific investments are based on location, operating history, business plan/strategy, and alignment with CDT’s mission to preserve affordable housing. We typically invest between $2 million and $10 million, with larger loans considered, and with a term between 15 and 30 years.

Testimonial

The recently rebuilt community building was tripled in size and now provides 5,000 square feet of space for on-site social support services.
We greatly appreciate our long-term lending partnership with CDT, which, to date, has provided responsive permanent financing to six of our affordable housing communities.
