Resilience Dedicated Fund
The Resilience Dedicated Fund (RDF) is a low-interest, revolving loan facility that finances resilience investments in affordable multifamily housing at the portfolio level. By enabling borrowers to bundle resilience projects with planned capital improvement investments, the RDF reduces transaction costs and accelerates the path from planning to implementation.
The RDF provides flexible capital for resilience upgrades that protect properties, stabilize operations, and strengthen community well-being.
Developed under Protecting the Path to Net Zero (PPNZ), the RDF turns climate resilience planning into a practical, financeable investment strategy.
