Key Takeaways

Expanding Affordable Housing Footprint

Hunt Capital Partners expands efforts to address the housing crisis with its new Tax Credit Fund 52, reports GlobeSt. The fund has already attracted over $175M in commitments. It aims to raise $277.1M to finance affordable housing projects in 10 states, including California, Florida, Texas, and Hawaii.

Building And Preserving Homes

The fund will support 1,540 units—1,002 new or rehabbed homes and 538 preserved units across 18 affordable housing projects. All homes will be income-restricted, designated for families earning between 30% and 80% of area median income (AMI). Seven of the projects will incorporate Section 8 vouchers to further assist low-income renters.

One example is Amasa Apartments in Moab, Utah—a 50-unit development with two- to four-bedroom units. The project includes set-asides for formerly homeless individuals, domestic violence survivors, and people with special needs.

More Than Shelter

“Families across the country face a severe shortage of affordable housing,” said John Lee, Managing Director at Hunt Capital Partners. He noted that Fund 52 aims to deliver units priced up to 85% below comparable market rents—freeing up resources for healthcare, food, and education.

In addition to expanding housing access, the initiative is projected to generate over 74K jobs. It is also expected to produce $4.6B in wages and nearly $80M in tax revenue, according to estimates from the National Association of Home Builders.

A Legacy Of Investment

Since 2010, Hunt Capital has raised over $4.1B in tax credit equity. It currently manages nearly 800 affordable housing partnerships, representing more than 80K homes across 48 states and territories. Fund 52 adds to that legacy by reinforcing its commitment to long-term community development through public-private collaboration.

Why It Matters

As demand for affordable housing continues to outpace supply, large-scale investment vehicles like Fund 52 are critical for both delivering housing and driving local economic benefits. Hunt Capital’s multi-state approach demonstrates how strategic funding can both tackle housing insecurity and promote regional growth.
