Reports to Stockholders. A copy of the 2004 Semi-annual Report (the "Report") of the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (the "Trust") transmitted to Trust participants pursuant to Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (17 CFR 270.30e-1) (the "Act"), is included herewith. SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT [LOGO] AFL-CIO HOUSING INVESTMENT TRUST JUNE 30, 2004 2004 Semi-Annual Report [LOGO] REPORT TO PARTICIPANTS The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT or the Trust) achieved a total net return of 0.19% for the first six months of 2004. The HIT outperformed its industry benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (Lehman Aggregate), by 4 basis points for the period. At June 30, the HIT had $3.59 billion in total net assets under management for 421 participants. Investments from participants totaled $135.6 million during the period, of which $63.9 million were new investments and $71.7 million were dividends reinvested by participants. GENERATING COMPETITIVE RETURNS The first half of 2004 was a challenging period for the fixed-income sector as the market anticipated rising short-term interest rates and the end of accommodative monetary policy. Interest rates rose across the board. The HIT executed a portfolio management strategy emphasizing its specialization in the Agency-insured multifamily mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector and its application of prudent risk management policies. The HIT portfolio continued to generate -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comparison of $50,000 Investment in HIT and Lehman Aggregate (1) [THE FOLLOWING TABLE WAS REPRESENTED BY A LINE CHART IN THE PRINTED MATERIAL.] ($ Thousands) ------------- AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust $106,210 Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (2) $101,970 Average Annual Total Return (%) (1) [THE FOLLOWING TABLE WAS REPRESENTED BY A BAR CHART IN THE PRINTED MATERIAL.]

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Economic and market conditions change, and both will cause investment return, principal value, and yield to fluctuate so that a participant's units when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.aflcio-hit.com. (2) The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index. It is not available for direct investment; therefore, its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with active management of an actual portfolio. Investors should consider the HIT's investment objectives, risks and expenses carefully before investing. A prospectus containing more complete information may be obtained from the HIT by calling the Marketing and Investor Relations Department collect at 202-331-8055. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Page 1 [LOGO] AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust competitive returns relative to the Lehman Aggregate while reflecting better credit risk and similar interest rate risk. During the first six months of the year, over 98% of the portfolio had a Government or Agency credit quality. The HIT managed the duration of the portfolio slightly short of the Lehman Aggregate. This enabled the Trust to reduce the negative impact of rising interest rates consistent with its policy of maintaining duration within a range of plus or minus six months of the Lehman Aggregate. The emphasis on Agency-insured multifamily MBS provided prepayment protection while capturing additional yield spreads over other Government or Agency bonds without taking additional credit risk. The "Portfolio Distribution" chart presents a profile of the HIT's holdings at June 30, 2004. Portfolio Distribution (%)* [THE FOLLOWING TABLE WAS REPRESENTED BY A PIE CHART IN THE PRINTED MATERIAL.] Cash and Short-term Investments 1.9% Single Family Mortgage-backed Securities 27.3% State Housing Finance Agency Securities 0.2% Multifamily Permanent Mortgage-backed Securities 44.8% Multifamily Construction Mortgage-backed Securities 10.7% Construction and Permanent Mortgages 0.3% U.S. Treasury and Government-sponsored Entities 14.8% * Includes funded and unfunded commitments. MULTIFAMILY HOUSING The HIT issued commitments of $109.4 million for multifamily investments in nine projects in the first two quarters of 2004, an increase of 17% over the funds committed in the comparable period a year earlier. This financing will create over 860 units of housing and provide for the construction of a Ginnie Mae-insured hospital and clinic. Sixty percent of the housing units will be affordable to low- or moderate-income households. The total development costs of these projects will exceed $190 million. Representative projects are described briefly below. Grand Itasca Clinic and Hospital: With a commitment of $42.1 million, the HIT is helping to finance a $59 million, 64-bed hospital and outpatient care facility to serve the community of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The 182,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility will replace an older hospital and rehabilitation clinic. The existing collective bargaining agreements between the hospital and the hospital workers will remain in place. The four unions representing these workers are the United Food and Commercial Workers; American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; United Steelworkers of America; and Minnesota Nurses Association.

These senior housing projects, with total development costs of more than $44 million, are the North Center Senior Apartments and Roosevelt Towers (Phase I) in Chicago and the Blaine Town Square Senior Housing development outside Minneapolis/St. Paul.

This phase will consist of a 17-building apartment complex offering 95 units of housing to people of various income levels. Heritage Park is designed as an affordable urban neighborhood close to the downtown Minneapolis business district. HOMEOWNERSHIP The nationwide HIT HOME homeownership program, carried out in cooperation with Countrywide Home Loans and Fannie Mae, originated more than 1,500 mortgage loans for union members and municipal employees during this six-month period, with total loan volume of $227.9 million. Year-to-date production brought the program's cumulative results to more than 7,000 mortgage loans for working persons, with a loan volume of $994.7 million, since HIT HOME began operation in 2000. The program's strategy of focusing on new purchase loans proved successful in the first six months of 2004. During this period more than 50% of the HIT HOME loan volume was for home purchases.

During the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, the Trust held no voting securities in its portfolio and has reported this information in its most recent filing with the SEC on new Form N-PX. The Trust's proxy voting report on Form N-PX for the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30, 2004, is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Participants may also obtain a copy of the Trust's report on Form N-PX, without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust collect at 202-331-8055. Page 4 2004 Semi-Annual Report [LOGO] EXPENSE EXAMPLE Participants of the Trust incur ongoing expenses related to the management and distribution activities of the Trust, as well as certain other expenses. This Example is intended to help participants understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Trust and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $50,000 invested at the beginning of the period, January 1, 2004, and held for the entire period ending June 30, 2004. Actual Expenses: The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Participants may use the information in this line, together with the amount they invested, to estimate the expenses that they paid over the period. Simply divide the account value by $50,000 (for example, an $800,000 account value divided by $50,000 = 16), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses paid on a particular account during this period. Hypothetical Expenses (for Comparison Purposes Only): The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Trust's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Trust's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses a participant paid for the period. Participants may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Trust and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds. Please note that the Trust charges no transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Expense Example Table
Beginning Ending Expenses Paid Account Value Account Value During the Period January 1, 2004 June 30, 2004 Ended June 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual Expenses $50,000 $50,093 $95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hypothetical Expenses (1) (5% return before expenses) $50,000 $51,139 $96
(1) Expenses are equal to the Trust's annualized expense ratio of 0.38%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

See accompanying notes to financial statements. Page 19 [LOGO] AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust Notes to Financial Statements; unaudited Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations Housing Investment Trust (the Trust) is a common law trust created under the laws of the District of Columbia and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a no-load, open-end investment company. The Trust has obtained certain exemptions from the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 that are described in the Trust's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Participation in the Trust is limited to eligible labor organizations and pension, welfare and retirement plans that have beneficiaries who are represented by labor organizations. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted U.S. accounting principles. Investment Valuation Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the major bond markets in New York City on the last business day of the month. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available (single family mortgage-backed securities investments, U.S. Agency debt and U.S. Treasury securities) are valued by an independent pricing service, using published prices, market quotes and dealer bids. Portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available (multifamily mortgage-backed securities investments, mortgage securities and construction mortgage securities) are valued at their fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees using dealer bids and discounted cash flow models. The respective cash flow models use market-based discounts and prepayment rates developed for each investment category. The market-based discount rate is composed of a risk-free yield (i.e., a U.S. Treasury Note) adjusted for an appropriate risk premium. The risk premium reflects actual premiums in the market place over the yield on U.S. Treasury securities of comparable risk and maturity to the security being valued as adjusted for other market considerations. On investments for which the Trust finances the construction and permanent securities or participation interests, value is determined based upon the total amount, funded and/or un-funded, of the commitment. The Trust has retained an independent firm to determine the fair market value of such securities. In accordance with the procedures adopted by the Board, the monthly third-party valuation is reviewed by the Trust staff to determine whether valuation adjustments are appropriate based on any material impairments in value arising from specific facts and circumstances of the investment (e.g., mortgage defaults). All such adjustments must be reviewed and approved by the independent valuation firm prior to incorporation in the NAV. Short-term investments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which constitutes fair value. Cash and cash equivalents include overnight money market funds which are also carried at cost. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted U.S. accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Page 20 2004 Semi-Annual Report [LOGO] Notes to Financial Statements; unaudited Federal Income Taxes The Trust's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its participants. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Distributions to Participants At the end of each calendar month, pro rata distribution is made to participants of the net investment income earned during the preceding month. Amounts distributable, but not disbursed, as of the balance sheet date are classified as income distribution payable. Participants redeeming their investments are paid their pro rata share of undistributed net income accrued through the month-end of redemption. The Trust offers an income reinvestment plan that permits current participants automatically to reinvest their income distribution into Trust units of participation. Total reinvestment was over 90 percent of distributable income for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Investment Transactions and Income Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities is accrued as earned. 12b-1 Plan of Distribution The Board of Trustees annually approves a 12b-1 Plan of Distribution to pay for marketing and sales promotion expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of units and related service and distribution activities (12b-1 expenses). For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Trust may pay for 12b-1 expenses in an amount up to $600,000 or 0.05 percent of its average monthly net assets on an annualized basis, whichever is greater. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Trust incurred approximately $284,000 of 12b-l expenses. Receivables for Investments Sold Receivables for Investments Sold represents investments that were sold prior to June 30, 2004, which settled subsequent to June 30, 2004. Payables for Investments Purchased Payables for Investments Purchased represents investments that were purchased prior to June 30, 2004, which settled subsequent to June 30, 2004. Page 21 [LOGO] AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust Notes to Financial Statements; unaudited Note 2. Investment Risks Interest Rate Risk As with any fixed-income investment, the market value of the Trust's investments will fall below the principal amount of those investments at times when market interest rates rise above the interest rates of the investments. Rising interest rates may also reduce prepayment rates, causing the average life of the Trust's investments to increase. This could in turn further reduce the value of the Trust's portfolio. Prepayment and Extension Risk The Trust invests in certain fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgage loans. Generally, the market value of the Trust's investments will rise at times when market interest rates fall below the interest rates on the investments. However, at such times, some borrowers may prepay the mortgage loans backing the Trust's securities more quickly than might otherwise be the case. In such event, the Trust may be required to reinvest the proceeds of such prepayments in other investments bearing lower interest rates. The majority of the Trust's securities backed by loans for multifamily projects include restrictions on prepayments for specified periods to mitigate this risk. When market interest rates rise above the interest rates of the Trust's investments, the prepayment rate of the mortgage loans backing the Trust's securities may decrease, causing the average maturity of the Trust's investments to lengthen. This may increase the Trust's portfolio's sensitivity to rising rates and reduce the value of the Trust's portfolio. Note 3. Transactions with Related Entities During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Trust provided the time of certain personnel to the AFL-CIO Investment Trust Corporation (ITC), a D.C. non-profit corporation, on a cost-reimbursement basis. During the six months, certain employees of the Trust also served as officers of the ITC. The total cost for such personnel and related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 amounted to approximately $772,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Trust was reimbursed for approximately $644,000 of current year costs. As of June 30, 2004, approximately $128,000 is included within the accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements for amounts outstanding under the arrangement. The ITC provided the time of certain personnel to the Trust on a cost-reimbursement basis. The total cost for such personnel and related expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $17,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Trust paid the ITC approximately $15,000 of current costs. Note 4. Commitments Certain assets of the Trust are invested in short-term investments until they are required to fund purchase commitments for long-term investments. As of June 30, 2004, the Trust had outstanding unfunded purchase commitments of approximately $205.8 million. The Trust maintains a reserve, in the form of securities, no less than the total of the outstanding unfunded purchase commitments, less short-term investments. As of June 30, 2004, the value of the publicly traded mortgage-backed securities maintained for the reserve in a segregated account was approximately $3.2 billion. The commitment amounts disclosed on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments represent the original commitment amount, which includes both funded and unfunded commitments.

Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans The Trust participates in the AFL-CIO Staff Retirement Plan, which is a multiple employer-defined benefit pension plan, covering substantially all employees. This plan was funded by employer contributions, at rates approximating 16.12% percent of employees' salaries for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The total Trust pension expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $496,000. The Trust also participates in a deferred compensation plan, referred to as a 401(k) plan, covering substantially all employees. This plan permits employees to defer the lesser of 100 percent of their total compensation or the applicable IRS limit. The Trust matches dollar for dollar the first $2,900 of each employee's contribution. The Trust's 401(k) contribution for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately $148,000. Note 8. Bank Securities The Trust has a secured $12.5 million bank line of credit. A segregated account of Trust-owned securities serves as collateral for the line of credit. As of June 30, 2004, the value of the collateral in the account was approximately $41.8 million. In addition, the Trust has a $12.5 million uncommitted and unsecured line of credit facility. Borrowings under these agreements bear interest at LIBOR plus one-half percent. Both lines of credit mature on June 30, 2005. The Trust had no outstanding balance on either of these facilities during the period. No compensating balances are required. Note 9. Contractual Obligations In the ordinary course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk or loss to be remote.
