In August 2022, Front Porch Investments announced the Development and Preservation Fund launch for mixed income and affordable housing projects (or phases of projects) and affordable housing programs. Funding for the inaugural round is made possible through a partnership with the City of Omaha, whose $20 million investment of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds are matched by Front Porch Investments through $20 million in philanthropic contributions. The Development and Preservation Fund will award funding to projects serving households earning less than 120% of area median income.
