AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust Finances Substantial

Rehabilitation in Philadelphia

 

The AFL CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is helping to finance the $36.9 million, tenant-in-place substantial rehabilitation of the 184-unit Carl Mackley Houses housing development in northeast Philadelphia.

The HIT will purchase $13.8 million in Ginnie Mae insured construction loan certificates and a permanent loan certificate. The HIT financed an earlier renovation of Carl Mackley in 1997 under its Community Investment Demonstration Program, as one of 18 projects that created or preserved 1,970 housing units for low- and moderate- income households.

This rehabilitation will build on Carl Mackley’s proud history as the nation’s first federally financed public housing development. Carl Mackley was built at the height of the Great Depression with New Deal program funding to provide low- and moderate-income union workers with affordable housing.

All 184 units at Carl Mackley are affordable. Ninety-two units benefit from a Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment Contract administered by the Philadelphia Housing Authority. The remaining 92 units will house those earning 50 to 80 of area median income.
