Impact

Loans made by AHT to our borrowing partners have a significant impact on the local economy. In 2021, AHT closed loans totaling almost $24 million. This investment will produce or preserve 1,089 housing units and leverage an estimated $162 million in new economic activity. In addition to providing much needed housing for Franklin County’s moderate and low income households, this economic activity may sustain up to 1,400 jobs.
