Careers

About BDP Impact Real Estate

BDP Impact Real Estate was founded in 2014 with a simple but unconventional premise: private capital, structured correctly, can solve homelessness. We serve as Fund Manager for the Community Solutions Large Cities Housing Funds I and II, which raise capital from institutional investors and acquire existing multifamily properties in major cities across the country. Once acquired, 50% of units are dedicated to workforce housing and 50% provide permanent supportive housing for veterans and others experiencing homelessness.

We believe that creating pathways for private capital to invest responsibly in affordable housing is a promising and sustainable solution to reducing inequality and homelessness in our country. As a small company, we take pride in being lean, entrepreneurial, and impact-focused. We insist on a culture of respect and appreciation for diversity.
