AFL-CIO HOUSING INVESTMENT TRUST

MidWest@Work Strategy

Summer 2018 Status Update

OVERVIEW

The HIT has invested $545.7 million in 24 projects and its subsidiary Building America CDE, Inc. (Building America) has provided $17.5 million in New Markets Tax Credits (NMTCs) to two additional projects as part of its MidWest@Work strategy since its inception in 2016 through August 2018. With $563 million invested in 26 projects, the strategy has reached over 51% of its $1.1 billion investment target in just two and one-half years. With over $1.1 billion in total development, it has built or preserved nearly 3,700 housing units, and created an estimated 4,860 union construction jobs and over 450 permanent jobs.

The HIT pledged to invest primarily in nine cities (Detroit, St. Louis, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Milwaukee, Saint Paul, and Minneapolis) and other Midwest communities and is implementing specific investment initiatives to address local economic development and revitalization needs. To date, investments have been made in six of the nine core markets: Detroit; St. Louis; Buffalo; Cleveland; Saint Paul; and Minneapolis; as well as in Chicago, Rolla, MO, Rochester, MN, and Duluth, MN. Working with selected developers, mortgage bankers, and housing finance agencies and continuing to broaden outreach to other market participants to identify additional projects, the HIT and Building America have built a strong pipeline of projects for the remainder of 2018 and into 2019. The projects on this pipeline include two additional core markets.

A key part of MidWest@Work is connecting the investments with the broader economic revitalization of Midwestern cities, as it incorporates pre-apprenticeship training, single family home repair, and links with the creation of manufacturing and other permanent jobs, when possible, through investment by HIT subsidiaries.

In February 2018, Building America was awarded its fourth allocation of NMTCs, bringing its total allocation to $185 million. Building America’s current pipeline includes several potential projects in the Midwest.
