The strategic deployment of capital for the construction of homeownership and rental developments to increase housing production in underserved communities is helping to bridge the investment gap across Florida.  Prioritizing communities that otherwise lack access to lending resources for both developers and homebuyers alike requires more creative financing opportunities, especially to support increasing construction costs.  
Beyond the CRA requirements, CDFIs are applying their financing instruments to enhance programmatic initiatives and assist Black developers and those working in underserved communities. Foundations are providing more flexible funding to support local housing initiatives, and nonprofit and for profits alike are infusing capital into complex development projects that require uniquely structured financing. This session will spotlight CDFIs and investment funds that use creative methods to deploy funds in a localized and strategic way for the greatest impact to the community and its residents.
