The STRENGTH MATTERS™
initiative encompasses four strategically linked objectives designed to support the growth,  sustainability, and impact of the affordable housing industry. These objectives were identified through a series of meetings, which convened CEOs, CFOs, lenders, and capital markets investors to gain a high level perspective on the characteristics of strength and barriers to growth for CDRIs. 

The observations and learnings from these meetings were further informed by the work of a small group of high performing nonprofit developers under the auspices of the Fannie Mae Foundation Alliance.

  1. Improve organizational operating performance»
