About National Foundation for Affordable Housing Solutions
National Foundation for Affordable Housing Solutions Inc channels its capital toward preserving and upgrading affordable multifamily housing, using acquisition, redevelopment, improved operations, and creative financing as the core of its work. The foundation also operates through investment and joint venture financing, including LIHTC equity syndication, tax-exempt bond structuring, and partnership arrangements for long-term preservation. That housing mission sits alongside a broader portfolio of program and charitable grants that reach children entering foster care, youth sports and golf mentoring, medical research, education, and family support services. Recent grants show both scale and variety in that broader giving. Hope in a Suitcase received $100,000 to support children and teens entering foster care, while Casey Cares Foundation and Casey Cares Donation each received $35,000 to support programs and services for children. The foundation also funded Western Golf Association, Gift of Life Marrow Registry, Sanctuary for Family, and Chadtough Defeat Dipg Foundation, reflecting support for golf-based youth programs, blood cancer treatment, survivor services, and pediatric cancer research and navigation. Its grantmaking is paired with short-term financing products for affordable housing preservation, showing a mix of philanthropic grants and housing finance activity under one organization.
