Affordable & Workforce Housing Building and supporting thriving communities Affordable housing is a foundational element of Related Midwest, with more than 10,000 affordable residences across the Midwest. OUR COMMITMENT TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING It's in our DNA Related started exclusively as an affordable housing developer in 1972 and today is one of the largest developers and preservationists of affordable and workforce housing in the country. Currently, we own and manage 55,000 affordable and workforce housing apartment homes and are proud to have never converted a single unit of affordable housing to market rate. What sets us apart Commitment to Preservation Media We have acquired, preserved, and developed over 10,000 affordable residences in the Midwest, and have never converted a single residence to market rate. We work to rehabilitate the units when possible, helping ensure the projects remain affordable. Housing Opportunities Media Our portfolio of affordable and workforce developments demonstrates our continued commitment to creating housing opportunities across a variety of geographically, economically and socially diverse neighborhoods. Resident Resources Media The Related Affordable Foundation (RAF) is a charitable organization committed to enriching the lives of affordable residents and breaking the generational cycle of poverty. RAF sponsors programs in areas such as education, food security and health. Equity in Design Media We strive to ensure our developments set new standards for creative design and financing and add value to the neighborhoods in which they are located. We don't believe that design excellence should be sacrificed when it comes to affordable housing.
