CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
The fund has deployed over $85 million across 7,832 units since 1991, but targets a narrow borrower profile with demonstrated experience.
Competition is limited to mission-aligned developers with proven records in low-income communities. If your project fits their current priority — single-family foreclosure redevelopment — your odds improve.
WHAT IT TAKES
Submit a project inquiry via their online form ('Tell Us About Your Project') — 1–2 hours
Connect with VP of Lending Sara Haas to discuss fit and next steps — 1–2 weeks
Prepare project financials and development track record documentation — 1–3 weeks
WORTH KNOWING
The fund currently prioritizes foreclosure redevelopment of single-family homes, so framing your project around that focus will strengthen your application. South metro Atlanta projects get extra consideration.
