“Throughout my career in social services, I have been committed to using my talents to help improve the lives of families and individuals in the communities I have had the honor to serve."  Jaclyn Jackson, NEF SVP and Chief Human Resources Officer.

Team NEF recently attended the groundbreaking of 340+ Dixwell, a new development in New Haven, CT that will be the first-ever LIHTC complex to be made with a mass timber structure and technology system, which utilizes wood from a renewable forest. This development will bring 69 total units to the area, with 55 being reserved for low-income families.

Today, The Community Preservation Corporation (CPC), National Equity Fund (NEF), and Cinnaire announced their joint partnership in CPC Mortgage Company, a national mortgage lending company specializing in multifamily Agency finance products. This first-of-its-kind cooperative leverages the resources and expertise of its three nonprofit owners to increase access to flexible Agency mortgage capital in communities where it is needed most, with the goal of expanding and preserving affordable and workforce housing. 

We are thrilled to see the expansion of our partners at Housing Trust Group, LLC! Last month, the Florida-based developer broke ground on Crescent Place, its first affordable housing community in Illinois in the Arlington Heights neighborhood.

With nearly 30 years of banking experience and a partnership history with NEF, Arroyo joins the trusted Board of Directors to help bring affordable and supportive housing to the nation.

“The clear entry into talking about ESG to potential LIHTC investors is that housing is foundational to all sorts of social opportunities for families and individuals.”
