Workforce Housing
Dedicated to creating and preserving housing that's affordable to our workforce.
Middle-income renters often earn too much to qualify for traditional affordable housing but not enough to afford market-rate housing. Workforce housing aims to fill that gap by providing high-quality apartment options that are affordable to households earning between 80% and 120% of the local area median income (AMI).

We have seen a marked increase in borrowers looking to utilize Agency programs that voluntarily restrict units to workforce housing incomes – 80 percent to 120 percent of AMI – in exchange for pricing and underwriting incentives. These programs are proving an effective way to preserve and create affordability in market rate communities, and we expect to see growing interest from the investor community moving forward.
