Safe, accessible, and affordable housing

Providing safe, accessible, and affordable housing is a pressing concern for many communities and local governments. Jurisdictions have diverse and complicated housing needs that cannot be addressed by one-size-fits-all solutions.

How DFI can help

DFI helps local governments navigate the development tools available to them and find solutions that meet local housing priorities. They work with communities at all stages of the affordable housing development process:

  • Defining the problem and available finance tools

  • Understanding local housing markets

  • Identifying sites for development or redevelopment

  • Advising on financially feasible development approaches

  • Attracting and vetting private developers
