Empowering Nonprofits & Municipalities to Create Housing and Capital

Anderson Urban makes it simple for nonprofits, municipalities, mission-driven organizations, housing authorities, and religious institutions with underutilized real estate to acquire or recapitalize multifamily housing using tax-exempt municipal bonds paired with structured capital, available nationwide.

​

How It Works

• Projects are structured so that 100% of eligible project costs—including acquisition, reserves, and, where applicable, renovations—are capitalized through tax-exempt municipal bonds and complementary structured capital.

• The financing is non-recourse, long-term, and low-interest, dramatically improving project feasibility relative to conventional lending.

• Because ownership is held by a nonprofit or municipality, the property may qualify for property tax exemption or reduction, depending on jurisdiction and structure.

• Age-restricted independent living (55+/62+) may lease at market rates (no rent caps), supporting long-term sustainability.

• For ground-up developments, Anderson Urban partners with equity-backed builders who can finance, construct, and deliver turnkey projects at certificate of occupancy (CO)—eliminating carrying costs and, in certain structures, providing liquidity at delivery.

​

For Nonprofits, Faith-Based Organizations & Municipalities

This program is open to any qualified nonprofit organization across the United States — including churches, ministries, housing authorities, and community development groups.

 

Anderson Urban acts as your facilitator and strategic partner, managing every step — from identifying the right property and structuring financing to coordinating bond counsel and closing.

 

Whether your goal is to acquire an existing multifamily community, repurpose land, or recapitalize an older property, our model makes it possible with no nonprofit cash equity contribution required and potential for mission-driven cash flow and capital growth.​

​

For Property & Land Owners

If you’re a property owner with a distressed or maturing asset, or facing loan payoff, refinancing, or other capital events, Anderson Urban offers a smarter path than a traditional sale.

​

By pairing your property with a qualified nonprofit borrower, we can convert the asset into a tax-exempt ownership structure that enhances value and community impact.

​

Owner Outcomes & Strategic Options

​

Property and land owners are not required to exit entirely in order to participate in this structure. Depending on goals, risk tolerance, and tax considerations, owners may choose from several paths—including a traditional sale or remaining economically involved in the project through structured, subordinated positions.

 

Available options may include:

​

• Traditional Sale:

  • ​Sell the property outright to a nonprofit-led ownership structure, providing immediate liquidity and a clean exit while enabling the asset’s transition to essential housing.

• Subordinated Seller Financing (Seller Note):

  • Retain a financial interest by taking back subordinated debt, similar to a seller note, in a recorded position. This interest is structured below senior tax-exempt bond financing and may provide ongoing income while reducing the project’s upfront basis.

• Ground Lease Retention:

  • For landowners, retain ownership of the land through a long-term ground lease. Ground lease payments are typically subordinated to senior debt service, allowing the project to remain financeable while providing the owner with stable, long-term income and continued land ownership

​​

These options give owners flexibility and control—allowing them to prioritize liquidity, long-term income, or tax efficiency—without forcing a one-size-fits-all outcome or requiring continued operational involvement.

​

If you’re approaching a loan maturity or considering a sale, contact Anderson Urban.
We can structure a win-win outcome that delivers liquidity, preserves value, and contributes to solving the housing shortage — unit by unit.
