Privately owned, moderate income housing.

The housing concept we are proposing is vastly different from what Municipalities and Agencies are familiar with; BUT the real-world implementation has and IS being used in the Government real estate markets for many decades. We are bringing this stable financing to the apartment industry and utilize Credit Tenant Loan (CTL) and bypass tax credits, HUD, Fannie and Freddie.

AREF has married Credit Tenant Loan (CTL) financing with the acquisition and production of Workforce Affordable Housing (80-120% AMI) and AREF Rents are at least 20% below Local Market Rental Comps. SAVING your local residents hundreds of dollars PER MONTH. AREF recognizes the serious need for this housing for the workforce in your community.
