As the city’s primary tool for creating and preserving affordable housing, the Housing Trust Fund provides gap financing to developers to cover the cost of building affordable developments. This gap financing helps build, restore, and repair affordable housing to ensure that Charlotteans have safe, quality, affordable places to live. Since 2018, voters have approved $150 million in affordable housing general obligation bonds to increase affordable housing production. 2022 marked the 20th anniversary of the first Housing Trust Fund investment. In the last two decades, the HTF has contributed $231.2M to support 11,000+ affordable housing units and 888 shelter beds for those experiencing homelessness.
