National Equity Fund announced a new structure for senior leadership roles to further support its mission to create and deliver innovative, collaborative financial solutions to expand the creation and preservation of affordable housing. Driven by the growth of newer capabilities such as Preservation Debt and Equity and GSE Lending combined with an increasingly complex investor market for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), NEF president and CEO, Matt Reilein, made the announcement to expand and create new leadership roles with existing employees. This new structure will streamline and optimize how NEF will serve its sponsor and investor clients in support of its mission.

2022 was an exceptional year for NEF, despite having occurred during one of the most complex and challenging macro-economic cycles that many of us have ever seen.  Elevated inflation, interest rate jumps, extended construction delays, continued longstanding economic effects of COVID and more, put pressure on investors, sponsors and the affordable housing industry like never before.

We are excited to announce that, for the third year in a row, NEF has been named one of Chicago’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in 2023! The Best and Brightest award identifies and honors organizations that display a commitment to excellence in their human resource practices and employee enrichment.
