Overview
SoLa Impact Fund uses private capital to create affordable urban housing with a social mission. It funds real estate projects (often via equity and debt) that deliver affordable units while generating jobs and neighborhood revitalization in distressed US areas. Its differentiator is a clear double bottom-line approach, aiming for market-rate investor returns alongside measurable community benefits. The goal is to expand affordable housing and stimulate broader neighborhood renewal in cities across the United States.
