As community housing organizations take on ambitious development, acquisition, and retrofit projects, many are being asked to navigate a more complex financing landscape. While public investment remains essential to achieving deep affordability, today’s projects often require multiple funding sources, including mission-aligned private investment capital.

So how can nonprofit and co-operative housing providers prepare for these conversations? What does it mean to be investment-ready? And what do investors look for before committing capital to a project?

Presented in partnership by ALIGN Association of Community Services (ALIGN) and the Continuing Care Safety Association (CCSA).
