Partnerships
Build With Us
Solving the workforce housing crisis requires builders, employers, municipalities, and advisors working together. FirstKey offers structured partnership pathways for each.
Builders
Build What the Market Needs — With Financing Support
Small and medium builders are the fastest path to new workforce-priced inventory. We provide land acquisition and construction lending to builders committed to producing homes within reach of middle-class buyers. In return, participating builders get favorable financing and access to our qualified buyer pipeline.
