The NHP Foundation: Affordable Housing Blueprint
RASMUS-TEMENOS, HOUSTON, TEXAS
Building Integrity and Financial Security Into All of Our Transactions
The birth of modern affordable housing policy occurred when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, calling for public- private partnerships as a way to fund housing. He didn’t use the term “institutional investing” or “impact investing” or any of the current buzzwords that we use today. He simply saw the power, value, and duty of private industry to join with government to “strengthen our economy and offer opportunity to those in need.” Not-for-profit and for-profit providers of affordable housing benefited from the President’s call, as well as later legislation via the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. LIHTC, created in 1986, is the nation’s most productive affordable housing tool, allowing corporations to receive returns on capital derived from federal tax credits, which offset federal income tax liability. THE NHPF ORIGIN STORY BEGINS WITH our founding in 1989. Since that time, NHPF has realized extraordinary achievements in the preservation and creation of value-added affordable multifamily housing. As a not-for-profit organization, NHPF operates with a charitable mission and business-like financial discipline that ensures smart, safe investment. NHPF’s success for the last 30+ years is owed to early institutional investors who saw the potential of this asset class to produce worthy returns, both financially and socially. Those initial investments from pioneering companies totaled $3M that NHPF has leveraged for the preservation of over 100 properties.
Our History of Success

Fearlessly Reinventing NHPF and Bringing About Remarkable Transformation NHPF CEO Richard F. Burns has leveraged his years of financial investment prowess to do things differently—and successfully—to continuously guide NHPF to where we are today, an industry leader consistently surpassing expectations while living up to our Mission Statement : The NHP Foundation is a not-for-profit real estate organization dedicated to preserving and creating sustainable, service-enriched multifamily housing that is both affordable to low and moderate income families and seniors, and beneficial to their communities. To that end, NHPF combines proven investment techniques with an infusion of entrepreneurial spirit resulting in the organization securing nearly $400M in LIHTC equity. This same balance helps foster valued partnerships with multiple financial institutions, municipalities, elected officials, and other investors to realize nearly 20,000 affordable apartment and single-family rental homes made available to families and seniors in need. We are most proud of NHPF’s relationships at every level of the funding equation, enabling us to successfully obtain the essentials of affordable transactions including LIHTC investment (both 4% and scarce 9% credits), grants, subsidies, housing vouchers, and loans.
