Fund will provide flexible capital to support minority and novice developers
December 9, 2022 (MIAMI)—SELF has launched the SAGE HOMES Fund to spur the development of affordable, climate-resilient housing. The Fund supports minority and novice developers, providing flexible capital and technical assistance to fill financial gaps and catalyze new development. Funding for SAGE HOMES is made possible by an investment from JPMorgan Chase & Co.
“SAGE supports projects led by community members, for community members with a focus on minority, black, latino and female led midsize affordable housing developments. We are excited to begin this work in South Florida, with the goal of scaling our model across the Southeast,” says Duanne Andrade, SELF Chief Strategic and Financial Officer.
