July 2000 Affordable Housing Transaction

Impact invested $40.3 million in 12 low-income, multi-family housing properties consisting of 1,456 units located throughout California. Though small by number of properties, the transaction demonstrated the wide range of affordable housing that Impact supports. The portfolio included a variety of large and small projects located in urban, suburban and rural communities, including properties developed for and owned by farmworkers in California's Central Valley; housing for low-income seniors and the disabled in Huntington Park; apartments for low- and moderate-income families in Roseville; an apartment complex in Los Angeles that houses the Temple/Edgeware Boys and Girls Club; and a mixed-use development in Berkeley that includes low-income housing and small businesses.
