Over 600 affordable housing partners came together for the event which recognizes the many investors, developers, lenders, management companies, nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, and government entities that partner with OCCH in the development of affordable housing.

Since 1989, with the assistance of its partners, OCCH has raised over $1.5 billion in equity and financed more than 20,000 affordable housing units in over 400 developments. These developments consist of lease-purchase housing, permanent supportive housing for the homeless, senior housing, rural housing, historic rehabilitation projects, and public housing redevelopments.
