Lowcountry Housing Trust partners with financial institutions to reach markets that are typically underserved. LHT’s financing is consistent with responsible lending and prudent risk management practices. The Trust shares the financial risk, and brings its expertise about the intricacies of creating affordable housing and its proven track record of working with both non-profit and for- profit developers to the table. Financial institutions benefit by extending their community outreach through this collaborative funding model, which also allows them to offer permanent financing and mortgages to these developing markets.

LHT partners with foundations and religious institutions, helping them focus their philanthropy to provide critically needed housing solutions that make a vital difference in people’s lives. LHT is an effective conduit that helps these organizations stabilize and enhance communities by financing a broad spectrum of housing. Neighborhoods become stronger, businesses are able to attract and retain a quality workforce, and communities are able to maximize economic development opportunities producing a “multiplier effect” on a larger scale.

LHT partners with government entities helping them focus funding on affordable housing opportunities within their communities and leverage their scarce resources with other public and private investments. On average, LHT leverages public funds 4 to 1.

LHT partners with individuals and businesses to provide giving and investment opportunities that yield both a financial return and social impact. The investment will increase affordable housing production for low to moderate income families, and as borrowers repay loans money is re-lent to provide additional housing opportunities.
