What We Fund

The Capital Trust Agency (CTA) was created to address the needs of many communities across the United States for responsive and innovative financing of projects that provide a public benefit, and which qualify under the Internal Revenue Service rules for tax-exempt financing.

Many of these projects have been for the construction of public K-12 schools and other educational facilities, improving access to educational opportunities for thousands of children.

CTA has also helped construct affordable housing projects, airport facilities, hotel and convention developments that help promote tourism and a variety of healthcare projects.

Capital Trust Agency

Since its formation in 1999, CTA has financed nearly $3 billion in projects that qualify for tax-exempt financing under the rules of the Internal Revenue Service.

CTA’s success in closing financing starts with an openness to consider a variety of qualified projects. We work with many nationally recognized investment banking and legal firms that approach the CTA with worthwhile uses of tax-exempt bond proceeds.

Qualified tax-exempt financing through CTA has benefitted many communities through such projects as new charter schools, increasing access and opportunities for thousands of children, converting blighted housing projects into desirable, safe residences for low-income families and building facilities for after-school care programs for families. In addition, CTA has helped to remove some of the stigma associated with low-income housing. With over 48 properties, CTA has financed 10,377 units of affordable housing, providing homes for tens of thousands of people.

Capital Trust Agency Community Development Entity

Capital Trust Agency Community Development Entity (CTA CDE) was formed in 2007 and was certified by the US Treasury as a Community Development Entity.
