The Boston Housing Authority (BHA) is embarking on a new effort to spur housing production through publicly backed social investment.  The Housing Accelerator Fund, a project in collaboration with the City of Boston was established to invest in the creation of mixed income housing.  The fund features three distinct components including mixed income rental projects (privately owned), mixed income rental projects (publicly owned), and mixed income homeownership projects.  The Boston Housing Authority (BHA) is currently seeking proposals for a pilot program to invest in market oriented, mixed income homeownership projects with the potential to move from permitting approval to construction with public investment.  The BHA seeks to provide a financial solution for qualified, fully-permitted mixed income homeownership projects in the City of Boston by offering a publicly backed investment product.
