Affordable housing isn't just shelter. It's the foundation everything else is built on.

Here's what the research shows — and what we see in the communities we work in every day.

When families have stable, affordable housing:
— Children perform better in school and change schools less frequently
— Adults have more income available for food, healthcare, and savings
— Communities see lower rates of homelessness, reduced emergency shelter use, and stronger neighborhood stability
— Local economies benefit from workforce housing that keeps essential workers close to their jobs

The LIHTC program has financed roughly 4 million affordable homes since 1986. Each one of those homes is a data point in the case for what stable housing does for people and places.

At Stratford, we see this up close on every project we close. The numbers we track — yields, IRRs, tax credit allocations — are how we make the impact sustainable.

A number worth sharing:

$6.7 billion.

That's the total capitalized value of affordable housing properties that Stratford Capital Group has helped originate, underwrite, sponsor, and syndicate since 2007.

It represents 300+ properties. 34,000+ apartment units. 38 states. And a 28-year track record of principals working together through every market cycle this sector has seen.

What it doesn't capture is the human dimension: the families on waiting lists who finally got a call. The seniors who can age in place. The workers who can afford to live in the communities where they work.

Both matter. The financial discipline is what makes the human impact sustainable.

More than 34,000 families across 38 states live in a home that Stratford Capital Group helped finance.

That number is the result of 28 years of work — underwriting, syndicating, and developing affordable housing through the low-income housing tax credit program. Over 300 properties. More than $6.7 billion in capitalized value.

The scale matters. But so does what the scale represents.

Every transaction we close is a building that gets built, a waiting list that gets shorter, and a family that gets stable housing — often for the first time in years.

At Stratford, we believe that affordable housing isn't a charitable cause. It's a critical infrastructure investment that strengthens communities, supports local economies, and generates real, tax-advantaged returns for the investors who help make it happen.

That's what we'll be talking about here all month — the investment case, the development story, and the people at the center of it.

Closing a transaction is only the beginning of the investment lifecycle.

Effective asset management in affordable housing ensures that LIHTC properties remain compliant, financially stable, and aligned with long-term performance expectations.

At Stratford Capital Group, our asset management approach emphasizes proactive oversight, detailed reporting, and strong communication with property operators and partners.

This ongoing stewardship is critical to preserving affordability — and protecting value for both residents and investors over time.

What goes into underwriting a successful LIHTC investment?

Underwriting affordable housing developments requires a detailed understanding of both financial fundamentals and regulatory frameworks. From evaluating construction budgets and operating assumptions to assessing long-term compliance requirements, each component plays a critical role in determining project viability.

At Stratford Capital Group, underwriting is not just about numbers — it’s about risk management, sustainability, and alignment with long-term affordability goals. By applying conservative assumptions and partnering with experienced sponsors, we help ensure that each development is positioned for both financial success and community impact.

Strong underwriting ultimately supports stronger communities.
