Socially Responsible Investing The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust has a long-standing history of impact investing, focusing on affordable housing and union employment. This dedication to socially responsible projects presents opportunities to offer sustainable investment solutions and ESG-focused financial products tailored to their mission.

Recent Affordable Housing Projects The organization recently invested $33.5 million in constructing 129 low-income apartments in Boston, signaling ongoing commitment to affordable housing. Partnering on similar projects or providing specialized financing and construction services could align with their strategic initiatives.

Union and Public Sector Focus With investments originating from union and public employee pension plans, the HIT emphasizes labor-friendly initiatives. Developing products that support union-driven projects, labor standards compliance, or workforce development may meet their institutional needs.

Community and Worker Safety Initiatives The HIT actively advocates for worker safety, highlighted by their reports on workplace safety and health, especially during COVID-19. Opportunities exist to offer safety technology solutions, compliance services, or worker safety training to their portfolio projects.

Investment Milestones and Growth Having invested over $1.6 billion in 100 projects in Minnesota and continuously expanding its portfolio, the HIT demonstrates growth in multifamily housing investments. This provides avenues for scalable investment management solutions, asset management, and expansion services supporting large-scale real estate projects.
