Leaving Your Mark on Louisville

Developing affordable housing in Louisville requires vision and the right financial partner. At the Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund (LAHTF), we understand that securing funding is often the biggest hurdle for developers.

That is why we provide strategic funding to help builders, nonprofits, and community partners build high-quality, affordable homes. If you are ready to build, preserve, or expand the housing stock in Louisville, KY, here is how a partnership with LAHTF can move your project from concept to completion.

Housing Development Funding

The LAHTF’s Housing Development Funding supports the creation, preservation, and expansion of affordable housing. We partner with developers and nonprofit organizations to reduce financial barriers and close funding gaps that often stall these projects. Our goal is to make projects financially viable while ensuring long-term affordability for income-eligible households.

Whether you are constructing new housing, rehabbing vacant properties, or preserving existing properties, our flexible financing tools are designed to move your project forward. Our funding capabilities include:

1. Affordable Housing Preservation & Rehabilitation: Protecting existing affordable units.

2. Construction and Gap Financing: Providing the final capital needed to start the project.

3. Low-Cost Permanent Financing: Long-term stability through competitive rates that traditional lenders may not offer.

4. Purchasing Units in High-Opportunity Areas: Empowering developers to secure properties in neighborhoods with strong access to jobs, transit, and schools.

Funding for Development, Preservation & Revitalization

A partnership with LAHTF is an investment in our city. From new construction to the rehabilitation of vacant and underutilized properties, we invest in projects that strengthen neighborhoods and expand long-term housing options.

For builders, this means having a partner that understands the details of the Louisville market. By focusing on revitalization, we help developers transform distressed properties into community assets. This approach not only provides homes for residents at or below 80% of the Area Median Income, but it also increases property values and stability in surrounding areas.

Why Partner with the Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund?

We provide the technical and financial aspects that allow builders to focus on what they do best. By partnering with us, developers gain access to:

1. Flexible Terms: Our tools are tailored to the specific needs of affordable housing, unlike one-size-fits-all commercial loans.

2. Community Impact: Joining the LAHTF network connects you with a mission-driven company dedicated to helping the residents of Louisville.
