strong foundations
Our Chairman, Daniel Levin, founded The Habitat Company in 1971 to fulfill his vision for South Commons, an ambitious 28-acre urban renewal project on Chicago’s South Side. For the past 50+ years, Habitat has been developing and managing affordable housing. Our community-oriented approach to design, development, and management has made us an industry leader.
We have developed properties that were financed through a broad range of conventional and public financing programs, including tax-exempt bonds, low-income housing tax credits (LIHTC), HOME, CDBG and project-based section 8. Our proven track record and ability to successfully navigate complex financing structures make us uniquely qualified to lead affordable housing development projects.
