As the U.S. faces an alarming shortfall of affordable housing, preservation has emerged as one of the most cost-effective, community-stabilizing solutions we have.
The Preservation Fund I Report offers a retrospective view of Enterprise’s first-ever preservation equity fund, launched in 2013 and fully realized in 2024. Through case studies, financial analysis, and compelling data, the report provides a comprehensive look at the full life cycle of the fund — and its impact:
- $35M invested to preserve and improve nearly 2,500 homes across 11 communities
- Affordability extended by an average of 23 years for 1,200+ homes
- $13.9M invested in renovations and energy-efficient upgrades
- Laid the foundation for a now-thriving line of mission-driving equity funds
Our Social Return on Investment Report offers in depth case studies, photo tours, and resident interviews from three of the communities preserved through the fund.
Read the sister reports to learn how we can protect the homes people rely on today — before they’re lost tomorrow.
