The fund is managed by the Regions Affordable Housing division. Specifically, the new RAH Corporate Partners Fund 57 LLC (“Fund 57”) will support 16 affordable housing properties financed through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program. States where the developments are being built include Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Connecticut, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. The 1,500-unit affordable housing fund is composed of four institutional investors, along with Regions Bank as a co-investor.
“Helping provide affordable housing is one of the most personal and powerful ways a bank can make a difference for the people and communities we serve,” said Rob Chiles, President of Regions Affordable Housing. “The Regions Bank mission is to make life better, and this is an example of our mission in action. We appreciate the collaboration of fund investors and the developers who are addressing housing needs and creating safe, modern and affordable options for hundreds of families and seniors.”
The properties within Fund 57 will serve a variety of housing needs. Of the 16 developments, 12 are being designed specifically for individuals and families, and four are being constructed for seniors. Additionally, five of the 16 properties will reserve units to provide services to populations such as veterans, survivors of domestic violence, and those requiring health and social services. Regions Affordable Housing is proud to note that 14 of the 16 properties in the fund are with repeat developer clients.
“Regions’ investment in this fund is another example of our commitment to creating shared value and more inclusive prosperity in communities across the nation,” Chiles added. “Our teams have years of experience creating financial solutions that make housing more affordable and attainable. We are honored to move forward with Fund 57 and look forward to the positive difference it will make.”
