Housing Trust Silicon Valley is a mid-sized nonprofit focused on expanding access to affordable housing through specialized financing and strategic partnerships. As a certified Community Development Financial Institution, it prioritizes innovative lending and public-private collaborations to strengthen the affordable housing market in the Bay Area. Founded in 2000 by affordable-housing activists, local businesses, public and private sector leaders, and foundations, it has become one of the largest housing trusts in the nation and earned an AA- rating from Standard & Poor's as the first nonprofit CDFI to reach that level. The organization serves the greater Bay Area, including Sacramento, by financing projects that support people experiencing homelessness, renters, and first-time homebuyers. Headquartered in San Jose, California, it has pursued initiatives such as an ADU loan program launched in 2020 and, more recently, the Home Access Program introduced in 2025.
