Housing Accelerator Fund


Housing Accelerator Fund
HAF is an innovative nonprofit lender and Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). Established in 2017 by the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, we create public-private partnerships and leverage private, philanthropic, and public capital to stem displacement of low-income and working families and accelerate the production of new affordable housing across the Bay Area. HAF has raised over $280 million in capital and deployed and committed over $280M to help nonprofits acquire buildings and convert them to permanently affordability. HAF also manages a philanthropic fund on behalf of Tipping Point Community that aims to accelerate the delivery of housing for unhoused people by investing in projects that pilot new cost-cutting and time-saving approaches. Our pilot project at 833 Bryant delivered permanent support housing (PSH) for individuals experiencing homeless at half the time and two-thirds of the cost of market standard – and we’re just getting started!
