Modular housing chosen as solution for temporary homes in London

PLACE | April 17, 2019

The Mayor of London has announced an investment of £11 million for temporary modular homes to help homeless families in the capital. There are currently more than 54,000 homeless households living in temporary accommodation in London, more than four fifths of whom are families with children. Temporary accommodation typically means privately rented flats, and can also include B&Bs and hostels. It is often expensive and can force families to move from their local area.

Lincoln Avenue Capital Acquires Majority Stake in HPET as part of a Landmark National Partnership to Create Affordable Housing

Lincoln Avenue Capital | November 02, 2021

Lincoln Avenue Capital, a leading, mission-driven investor in and developer of affordable housing, has signed an agreement to acquire the majority stake in a social purpose real estate investment fund, the Housing Partnership Equity Trust (HPET), which invests in affordable housing across the United States. The transition is expected to be complete by the end of this year, after which Lincoln Avenue Capital will serve as one of the largest, single private investors in affordable housing. HPET was originally founded nine years ago by major Wall Street banks, prominent foundations, and nonprofit housing organizations that came together to pioneer an innovative approach to affordable housing investment and preservation. Until now, HPET has been principally owned by some of the nation's largest and most respected not-for-profit developers and operators of affordable and workforce housing for low- and moderate-income individuals and families. In partnership with HPET nonprofits, Lincoln Avenue Capital plans to purchase at least $150 million annually in workforce and affordable housing to expand HPET's investments. The company will continue HPET's traditional focus on largely unsubsidized affordable housing (what is also referred to as "naturally occurring affordable housing" or "NOAH"). Their rents are lower than those of the area's housing market. "Building and preserving affordable housing is one of the most important social causes of our time, HPET has pioneered and proven a powerful model for bringing together private and nonprofit partners to develop and sustain affordable and workforce housing that strengthens communities. Lincoln Avenue Capital is well equipped to build on this success. We are delighted to be partnering with leading nonprofit and philanthropic organizations that share our mission to increase HPET's impact across the country." - Jeremy Bronfman, CEO and founder of Lincoln Avenue Capital. Established in 2012, HPET was built on an idea first proposed by the Housing Partnership Network (HPN), a collaborative of 100 leading affordable housing and community development nonprofits, and other housing advocates. The group advanced the idea that more private capital would be attracted into affordable housing if a real estate investment trust (REIT) could be formed with some of the nation's largest and most respected nonprofit developers and operators of affordable multifamily housing. To put the concept into action, HPN and its members worked with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and other major investors including Citibank, Charles Schwab Bank, the Ford Foundation, Prudential, and Morgan Stanley Bank. Today, HPET serves nearly 3,000 households in seven U.S. states. "Expanding access to safe, affordable homes is key to our country's fight against inequality and racial injustice, We are proud to have supported HPET's groundbreaking work since inception and excited that Lincoln Avenue's partnership with HPET's leading nonprofit housing organizations promises even greater scale and impact in the years ahead." - Debra Schwartz, MacArthur's Managing Director for Impact Investments. Lincoln Avenue Capital is expected to close on the purchase by the end of 2021. It will acquire a majority interest in HPET, which it will own alongside the other institutional investors, including the MacArthur Foundation. HPET's nonprofit partners will retain ownership of 7.5 percent of the company. Other investment partners include Prudential Impact Investments Private Equity LLC, Citibank, N.A., Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., and Charles Schwab Bank, SSB. Under Lincoln Avenue Capital's leadership, HPET will continue to aggressively seek out new housing investment opportunities and additional private capital. Beekman Advisors acted as investment banker for HPET in the transaction. About LAC: Lincoln Avenue Capital is one of the nation's fastest-growing developers and investors of affordable housing, providing high-quality, sustainable homes for low-income individuals, seniors, and families nationwide. LAC is a mission-driven organization with a portfolio that includes 88+ properties, comprising 15,000+ units and serving more than 43,000 residents across 14 states. About HPET: Housing Partnership Equity Trust (HPET) is a national, social-purpose real estate investment fund created by nonprofits to raise capital for affordable housing. HPET collaborates with its partners to acquire and preserve affordable rental housing in opportunity neighborhoods with the components critical to household success. HPET's nonprofit members are AHC Inc., Aeon, BRIDGE Housing Corporation, Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc., Eden Housing, Inc., Enterprise Community Development, Inc., Hispanic Housing Development Corporation, Homes for America, Housing Partnership Network, LINC Housing Corporation, Mercy Housing, Nevada HAND, Inc., NHP Foundation, NHT Communities, and POAH.
