Why This Matters
Across America, families with housing vouchers struggle to find landlords willing to accept them.
As a result, children remain trapped in shelters, cars, overcrowded apartments, or unstable living arrangements—despite having government assistance.
By expanding the supply of well-maintained, voucher-accepting housing, we can:
- Reduce child homelessness
- Keep families together
- Improve educational stability
- Create safer neighborhoods
- Break generational cycles of poverty

Children are homeless in every city, county, and state—every part of our country.
Looking beyond current statistics, tight housing markets in major urban centers—such as Massachusetts, New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.—will continue to drive increases in the number of homeless children.
Addressing this crisis requires not only public policy solutions, but also private, mission-driven capital willing to support long-term affordability—ensuring that families with children have a stable place to call home.

Finding Innovative Capital Solutions Is Critical
Addressing the affordable housing crisis requires innovative capital solutions—including zero-interest financing, and long-term investment horizons—that eliminate the burden of debt service.
One of the primary drivers of the affordable housing shortage is the high cost of development, particularly the cost of debt service.
While land acquisition, construction materials, labor, regulatory compliance, and professional fees all contribute to rising development costs, the expense of borrowing capital often makes otherwise viable affordable housing projects financially infeasible.
For affordable housing developments—where rents are capped and operating margins are intentionally thin—these debt costs can consume a disproportionate share of project cash flow.
As interest rates rise, monthly debt service payments increase, forcing developers either to abandon projects altogether or to pursue higher rents that are incompatible with affordability goals.
Smaller developers are often locked out of the market entirely because they cannot access capital on terms that align with long-term affordability.
By lowering the cost of capital, more projects can move forward, more property owners can participate in voucher programs, and more families can gain access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.

$100,000 Fundraising Goal: 3129 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, New York 10469
The Affordable Housing Campaign Fund, LLC has selected 3129 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, New York 10469 as its first development project.
Over the next six (6) months, the Affordable Housing Campaign Fund, LLC plans to raise $100,000 to finance the legal conversion of 3129 Fenton Avenue, Bronx, New York 10469 from a one-family residence into a two-family home, including the issuance of a new Certificate of Occupancy from the New York City Department of Buildings.
Currently, the first-floor unit is leased to a family utilizing Section 8, formally known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, consisting of a parent and several children residing in a four-bedroom apartment.
The plan is to renovate the basement space into a one-bedroom apartment, with fully independent infrastructure for each unit, including separate electric and gas meters, water meters, and dedicated service lines.
These improvements are designed to ensure long-term compliance with building codes and to support safe, sustainable occupancy.
The $100,000 in capital will be used to retain a qualified team of professionals—an architect, engineer, plumber, electrician, expeditor, and contractor—to prepare plans, manage filings, and secure all required approvals from the New York City Department of Buildings and other relevant agencies.
Upon completion, the newly created apartment will be leased to a family utilizing a government-sponsored affordable housing voucher, such as Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher Program), directly expanding access to safe, stable, and code-compliant housing for families most in need. With your support, the Affordable Housing Campaign Fund, LLC can turn abandoned properties into homes, and homelessness into hope.
This is more than an investment.
This is an opportunity to save the lives of homeless children! With your puchase and/or investment, the Affordable Housing Campaign Fund, LLC will be able to offer hundreds of families a safe, stable home—and the chance to build a better future.
Thank you for joining us in this critical effort to expand affordable housing across the nation.
