20/20/2000 Housing Initiative, Harvard University

Started in 2000, the 20/20/2000 Housing Initiative is a collaboration between Harvard University and local leaders to address the lack of affordable housing in the Boston and Cambridge areas. The University, through its $20 million, 20-year affordable housing low-interest fund, provides assistance to help create and preserve affordable housing for low and middle-income residents. To date, the Fund has helped finance the creation or renovation of more than 4,350 units of affordable housing.
