In January 2020, AHT closed the $100 million Housing Action Fund (HAF).

The HAF is a revolving loan facility designed to address the affordable and workforce housing needs in Columbus and Franklin County. Over the last three years, the HAF has created and preserved over 2,200 units, deployed $80 million and has leveraged an estimated $433 million in new economic activity, which may sustain over 3,700 jobs.

AHT will duplicate the success of the HAF with the RIF, but on a regional level. The RIF provides a flexible source of dollars that expands the resources available for investment in affordable housing development within an eight-county area, including Franklin and the contiguous counties and Knox county.
