Many U.S. communities continue to face challenges related to housing affordability. CIM BGV Affordable Housing Impact Fund I (AHIF) was launched with the objective of addressing this ongoing need by preserving affordability, supporting vulnerable populations and strengthening communities facing mounting housing pressures.
Jonathan Tao, 1st Vice President, Investments at CIM Group, discusses AHIF’s strategy, its early progress, and the key trends shaping affordable housing investment.
Key Takeaways:
- The U.S. faces a deepening shortage of affordable housing as demand exceeds supply, costs rise and multifamily deliveries slow.
- AHIF focuses on income producing properties in markets with strong rent demand and limited supply.
- Early acquisition opportunities and a $250 million first closing demonstrate AHIF’s growing platform and its strategy designed to preserve affordability.
