Equity 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.Our equity investments are typically between $2 million and $20 million for properties of 100 or more units.
