Citi has been the nation’s top affordable housing lender for the past 16 years because we know that expanding access to affordable housing also expands opportunity for individuals, families, and entire communities. As many Americans continue to feel pressured by the high cost of housing, we will continue to put Citi’s resources to work to help increase the supply of affordable housing across the country. Not only are we proud of our record, we are doubling down by increasing investment with our $60 billion commitment through our Blueprint for Housing Opportunity.”
Citi knows increasing supply is essential to addressing housing affordability. That’s why we are putting our capital, community impact, and expertise toward helping more Americans access housing they can truly afford through our Blueprint for Housing Opportunity initiative — a $60 billion five-year housing affordability commitment dedicated to increasing the supply of housing through the creation and preservation of at least 250,000 units across the U.S. Through this initiative, Citi is working to support developers, accelerate construction and expand access to affordable housing where it’s needed most.
“This recognition reflects both our long-standing leadership in affordable housing and our broader commitment to addressing housing affordability at scale. Through the Blueprint for Housing Opportunity initiative announced this year, we are expanding how we deploy capital to help increase supply across the housing spectrum,” said Jeremy Johnson, Head of Citi Community Capital. “Combined with the dedication of our team and the strength of our partnerships, this approach allows us to deliver meaningful impact for communities nationwide.”
