Impact

Supporting stable communities through investment in affordable housing.

Highlighted text

Our mission is to help ensure housing affordability and enhance the quality of life for residents of low- and moderate-income communities.

Page introduction paragraphs

We measure our performance using two key metrics:

  • Our contributions to improving communities.

All of our investments seek to improve the lives of residents in the properties we finance. When people are able to secure high-quality housing they can afford, they are relieved from many of the stresses that undermine their ability to thrive. With the benefit of safe, healthy, and stable living conditions, residents have the foundation they need to succeed at work and at school or flourish in retirement.

As importantly, affordable housing is essential to the economic vitality of communities, enabling people to live near their jobs and employers to attract and retain a stable workforce.

  • The return we provide our investors.

CDT works creatively to harness the power of private capital to help address the tremendous shortage of high-quality affordable housing. By leveraging our capital, we create more sustainable and just communities, while providing competitive returns to our investors.
