Public housing authorities increasingly need innovative capital tools to expand affordable housing production. This session explores how DHA’s recent bond issuance and role as a lending partner reflect an evolving approach to capital markets for credit-rated PHAs. Using DHA’s 4965 Washington project as a case study, presenters will outline the coordinated revenue bond, construction loan, and permanent loan structure that supported a 170-unit mixed-use development. Attendees will learn how customizable bond strategies, paired with strong credit and strategic underwriting, can unlock new debt capacity, scale mission-driven development pipelines, and accelerate affordable housing delivery.
