Methodology
Unit counts pulled directly from each project's stated plans. Englewood Arts Overlay District is excluded as it's a policy instrument, not a unit-producing project. The Rhythm District (1,300) includes both affordable and market-rate units within a single mixed-income development. Capital requirements are not shown here — those figures require project-level underwriting data beyond what's publicly stated.

Unit counts represent full project targets across all phases and timelines — not units expected by a specific date. Projects range from single homes currently under construction to large multi-phase developments in early planning. Figures sourced from project descriptions, early 2026.

Capital Structure

The financing behind
the pipeline.

Three layers of capital. One model that makes permanently affordable housing financially viable — and mission-rate lending is the critical lever.

The Way Home structures every project around a capital stack designed for speed, scale, and sustainability. By layering three types of capital, affordable housing projects can move at market velocity while remaining permanently affordable.

Why the philanthropic gap is manageable
The Way Home's 60/30/10 capital model structures every dollar deployed into three tiers of risk. The critical lever: 30% of the capital stack is deployed as mission-rate debt (2–3%) rather than market-rate lending. The initial deployment requires a philanthropic share of ~10% to capitalize the fund — and after the first recycle, the 60/30/10 target structure fully materializes with no new philanthropic capital required.

What if all lending were at market rate?
With Mission Lending (2–3%)
~$73M

~10%
of total housing development cost
Lower rates unlock ~90% debt financing — dramatically reducing what philanthropy must cover
Without — All at Market Rate (~7%)
~$225M

~31%
of total housing development cost
Higher rates mean projects can carry less debt — pushing nearly double the burden onto philanthropic capital
~$152M
less philanthropy needed
Mission-rate lending cuts the philanthropic ask by ~67% — from ~$225M down to ~$73M — across the same 26 active projects, same housing costs, but a fundamentally different capital structure.
