Where It All Began

Our story began with a simple idea: seeing a need in communities across the country and choosing to be part of the solution. Since 2001, CREA has worked with mission‑aligned partners to help create and preserve affordable housing nationwide.

WHY LIHTC

Stefanie
Brown

“Like many, I found my way into affordable housing by accident. Seventeen years at CREA have shown me that affordable housing is, above all, about people – families, seniors, veterans and many other individuals who simply need and deserve a safe, affordable place to call home.”
