MSquared, a women-led real estate investment firm, has launched its second Equitable Housing Solutions Fund with a $250 million target to address the US housing affordability crisis.
The fund backs mixed-income developments in cities across the country, pairing affordable and market-rate units to grow housing supply, keep neighborhoods diverse, and give investors both market-rate upside and the stable returns of regulated affordable housing.
Impact metrics will focus on three pillars: affordability (number and duration of new affordable units, tenant savings compared to market rents), sustainability (proximity to transit, energy efficiency, green certifications), and diversity (share of projects with women and minority partners and retail space for local businesses and nonprofits).
MSquared’s first Equitable Housing Solutions Fund backed projects in high-cost urban markets and built a pipeline of diverse developer partners. With Fund II, the firm aims to scale the strategy and open institutional capital to women and diverse developers who have historically struggled to access it.
