Our interactive Mission Map helps you locate targeted affordable properties across the U.S. and highlights markets with special designations, such as Duty to Serve and opportunity zones.
We’ve created two new Preservation Prospector tools, for our Optigo lenders, powered by the National Housing Preservation Database (NHPD). We’re helping our network identify and pursue financing opportunities — to preserve and improve Section 8 and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties across the nation.
You’ll find owner information for more than 50,000 properties. Filter by state, city, county, metropolitan area (MSA) or tract number, as well as by Duty to Serve categories.

Our Preservation Prospector tools leverage data from the database — a joint initiative by the Public and Affordable Housing Research Corporation (PAHRC) and the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC). The database was created to give stakeholders the information they need to effectively preserve their stock of public and affordable housing.
