Affordable single-family homeownership

AFFORDABLE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMEOWNERSHIP

NCST works to increase homeownership by expanding the supply of affordable, single-family homes to stabilize neighborhoods, build community wealth, and advance racial equity.

 

For more than a decade, NCST has been a trusted intermediary for responsible, locally-based buyers and developers who acquire and rehabilitate homes to create affordable homeownership opportunities. We facilitate the transfer of these homes, aggregate financial resources, and build local capacity to expand, preserve, and rehabilitate single family homes.

 

We also advance affordable homeownership by supporting practitioner-led efforts in communities across the country that inform our push for homeownership policy innovation and reform.
