Our Development Focus

A focused developer.

TrueHaven builds a specific product, in specific markets, for a specific population. Focus is what allows a lean team to execute with excellence — and to partner credibly with the housing authorities, allocators, and capital providers who make affordable housing possible.

What we build

TrueHaven develops ground-up Low-Income Housing Tax Credit communities, both 9% competitive and 4% bond-financed. Within that product, we focus on four dimensions.

  • i

    Family and senior housing

    Our communities serve working families and older adults. We are equally committed to both populations, and we pursue each product type where the market and the public partners signal the need.

  • ii

    Communities of 80 to 150 units

    Large enough to achieve operating economies and meaningful community impact. Small enough to be well-designed, well-maintained, and responsive to the neighborhoods that host them.

  • iii

    Affordability at 60% AMI and below

    Our typical project serves households earning at or below 60% of area median income, with deeper affordability layered in where subsidy structures and local priorities make it possible.

  • iv

    Quality construction, designed to last

    We build to operate. That means durable systems, efficient floor plans, thoughtful site design, and material choices that hold up to fifteen-plus years of active use.

Where we build

Georgia is our home and our primary market. We focus on three geographies within the state.

  • i

    The Atlanta metro

    The region's sustained population and employment growth continues to outpace affordable housing production by a wide margin. We pursue sites across the MSA where demand, transportation access, and community support align.

  • ii

    North Georgia

    The corridor running from the northern reaches of the Atlanta MSA through Gainesville, Dahlonega, and beyond is among the fastest-growing and most housing-constrained regions in the Southeast. Thoughtful new construction here creates outsized community impact.

  • iii

    Secondary Georgia metros

    Markets including Athens, Macon, Augusta, Savannah, Columbus, and their surrounding counties face real and well-documented affordable housing shortages. We pursue opportunities in these markets where the site, the public partnership, and the capital stack align.

Beyond Georgia, we selectively evaluate opportunities across the Southeast where our operator experience and network extend.

What we look for

We pursue opportunities that share a few characteristics.

Demonstrable housing needsupported by market data and the priorities of local public partners.

Buildable siteswith workable zoning, infrastructure, and entitlement paths.

Supportive public partners— housing authorities, municipalities, counties, and state allocators — whose priorities align with what we build.

Capital structures that hold up on their own merits,with soft funding as an enhancement rather than a rescue.

If you control a site, represent a housing authority, or work for a jurisdiction that fits this profile, we would welcome the conversation.
