Focused on Impact
The Catalyst Fund will seek to preserve housing currently affordable to working Nashvillians and create new affordable housing.
The Fund will provide early-stage capital to mission-driven developers in Nashville so they can be more competitive in the race to preserve existing regulated and unregulated affordable housing, and to accelerate the creation of high-impact affordable housing. The Fund is also focused on enabling non-profit and emerging BIPOC developers to support effectiveness and success in the market.
The Catalyst Fund will invest in affordable housing projects that…
- Support the preservation and development of income-restricted housing for the long-term.
- Advance priority housing goals including bringing unregulated housing into income / rent regulation, and effectively serving a population with unique needs, among others.
- Offer access to opportunity while promoting inclusive economic development, or expand the capacity of the community development sector in Nashville.
