Rural Affordable Housing

USDA Section 515 and Section 538 rural affordable housing acquisition, preservation, and recapitalization in underserved geographies.

Fund Overview

$1.40B · 30–80% AMI (rural)

USDA Section 515 and Section 538 rural affordable housing acquisition, preservation, and recapitalization in underserved geographies.

Gr3ySpace Fund VII acquires, preserves, and recapitalizes rural affordable housing communities financed under USDA Section 515 and Section 538 rural rental housing programs. These communities have experienced accelerating physical deterioration from decades of deferred capital investment, with limited private-sector interest in the operational complexity and geographic dispersion that rural asset management requires. Fund VII combines USDA Rural Development financing, LIHTC preservation credits, and long-duration equity to steward this at-risk portfolio.
