With 2026 now underway, it's important to reflect on what you, AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) investors helped us accomplish and the impact you made over the past year. First and foremost, our portfolio continues to provide a core fixed income option with higher credit quality and a yield advantage when compared to its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. As of December 31, 2025, the portfolio outperformed over the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year time periods (gross of fees).1 With our expertise in multifamily mortgage-backed securities (MBS) paired with our directly sourced multifamily construction projects, all built with 100% union labor, the portfolio is well positioned for the year ahead. We are most proud of delivering on our commitment to increase impactful investments that promote critically needed benefits in local communities. In 2025, the HIT committed $463.9 million to finance 13 projects across the country,2 including: the first facility of its kind for medically fragile young adults in White Plains, NY; the second phase of a multi-phase community redevelopment in Worcester, MA; and, the largest new construction HUD loan in over 25 years in California, located in San Francisco. The HIT closed 2025 with 41 projects under construction across 11 states.2 Combined, these projects had a total development costs of $3.0 billion, created or preserved 5,601 housing units (58% affordable) and generated over 23 million hours of well-paying union construction work.2 On three construction sites, the HIT hosted worker appreciation events to recognize the union members whose skill, dedication, and craftmanship are bringing our investments to life. We look forward to seeing these projects advance toward completion and deliver much needed housing to communities nationwide. As we reflect on the progress and accomplishments of 2025, we are proud of the results and energized by the momentum. We hope to build on this success and are working to generate more impacts for our investors in 2026. Contact: [HIT Employee Name, Telephone & eMail] |
