the affordable housing crisis, one family at a time.
Center Creek Capital Group is generating deep, scalable impact to address the country’s affordable housing crisis – transforming families, communities, and society, one home at a time.
Our Affordable Build-to-Rent, Affordable Housing Impact Investment and Creative Housing Development strategies produce positive real-world outcomes at a range of levels, offering investors the opportunity to generate competitive financial returns while creating lasting change.
IMPACTING FAMILIES
We enable families to rent in neighborhoods where they likely could not afford to buy, offering residents the feeling that their rental is truly a “home.”
Center Creek’s typical home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1500 square feet of living space, a yard, and off-street parking – far more space than families get in a typical affordable apartment unit.
We offer a suite of programs and support services – including financial literacy training, credit counseling, small business and entrepreneurship support through our Boost to Business Academy and our unique Pathway to Homeownership program – that open the door of opportunity to economic inclusion.
IMPACTING COMMUNITIES
Each home we acquire or develop as part of our Affordable Build-to-Rent strategy increases the affordable housing supply and broadens housing options for LMI households.
Each home we renovate as part of our Affordable Housing Impact Investment strategy is transformed from a distressed property into an anchor that helps stabilize the neighborhood.
Each home we build as part of our Creative Housing Development strategy fills vacant land, thus addressing blight and adding to neighborhood vibrancy and texture.
Both of our strategies provide quality living opportunities to family and support stronger and more cohesive communities.
IMPACTING SOCIETY
The crisis in affordable housing is fundamentally about tight supply. Center Creek both preserves and improves existing housing and develops new properties to expand the housing stock.
Most of our investments are directed to majority-minority neighborhoods that have traditionally been underserved and underinvested.
Most of our rental residents are marginalized populations, for whom Center Creek’s quality, affordable homes offer opportunities that promote racial equity.
Our robust wrap-around services – including credit counseling, financial literacy training, small business support, a 2:1 savings match toward home down payments, and our Pathway to Homeownership program – support broader economic inclusion across society.
“This is a great project that Center Creek has done, and it will make a wonderful home for a low/moderate income family here in Fairfield. The people who live on the block were excited – residents are always happy to see an abandoned property being turned into a useful property, that makes the neighborhood stronger. The work Center Creek is doing is tremendously valuable. Residents not only have access to better rental housing, but they have the opportunity to build their credit and buy their home to become long-term members of the Fairfield community. We want to see Center Creek to duplicate this success in other parts of the city.”
