A Two-Pronged Approach to Rental Housing Preservation

Keeping Housing Affordable

Enterprise works in partnership with the National Housing Trust, a program which provides funding to purchase and preserve affordable housing that is in danger of being sold and converted into market-rate housing. The National Housing Trust/Enterprise Preservation Corporation has preserved nearly 5,000 affordable homes through real estate development.

Preserving Expiring-Use Units

Housing built with Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) was required to remain affordable to low-income people for 15 years. Enterprise Community Investment is helping keep these properties affordable past “Year 15.”
