Housing
Strong foundation. Proven commitment
and results.
Raymond James has a commitment to affordable housing that dates back nearly seven decades. The Raymond James National Housing Group was the firm’s first specialty group within its Public Finance department, and is now one of the largest and longest-standing municipal housing groups in the country. We have structured more than 1,500 mortgage revenue bond issues totaling more than $50 billion, and consistently rank among the Top 10 municipal housing bond underwriters in the country.* In addition, Raymond James is recognized as one of the most innovative firms in the affordable housing industry, creating market timely products, such as our TBA-based “Turnkey” program, a first of its kind program created for housing finance agencies that has supported over $18 billion of single family loan reservations since this pioneering program was first launched in 2012.
