REFLECTING BACK LOOKING FORWARD

2014 WAS A GREAT YEAR of accomplishments for NHPF. I invite you to read about highlighted achievements at individual properties, note the positive resident experiences created through Operation Pathways, and see how our fiscal responsibility and asset management have reinforced NHPF’s portfolio and financial health. This particular annual report marks a great milestone. Beyond reflection on the past year, we are happy to recognize all that has moved us forward since NHPF’s founding in 1989. More importantly, we are poised to make an even greater impact as we embark on our next 25 years. The past year resulted in ambitious strategic planning to guide our future efforts. Executing the plan will accelerate our ability to provide affordable housing in the form of clean, safe and green communities. Because of our abiding belief that “Where You Live Matters,” the quality of life for residents in those communities will continue to be enhanced through educational, health and enrichment programs that are defining elements for every NHPF property. In our anniversary year of reflecting back and looking forward, I salute the enlightened group of 24 investors who funded NHPF and the partners and affiliates who will help write NHPF’s future success stories, as we work smartly and tirelessly to protect and grow our country’s affordable housing.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT OVERVIEW

(The Fund), we acquired interests in Alpha Towers, a 165-unit property located in Toledo Ohio. NHPF has nearly completed the rehabilitation of Hollybush Gardens, 252 units in Glassboro, NJ and is also nearing completion of the renovation of Plaza Borinquen, 88 units in the Bronx, NY. Already in 2015, NHPF has acquired Parkchester Apartments, a 94-unit building in Washington, DC and signed a deal to acquire and rehabilitate 95 units in Maryland and, through The Fund, purchased a 92-unit property, Lancaster Club, located in Lancaster, OH. Through our Affiliate Program, we have entered into an agreement with a local nonprofit to be co-developer of a 9% LIHTC, new construction, affordable apartment complex in Chicago, Illinois. NHPF has also entered into a new workforce housing joint venture with Urban Atlantic and has closed a $10 million revolving line of credit with the Low Income Investment Fund to initiate the activities of the joint venture. This joint venture will focus on acquiring multi- family properties where the majority of tenants earn up to 80% of the Area Median Income. We continue to aggressively seek new opportunities to rehabilitate and preserve affordable housing and currently have several exciting prospects, some located in Washington DC, Texas, Tennessee and Connecticut. Operation Pathways, NHPF’s resident services program, continues as strong as ever, offering programs in health and wellness, education and financial literacy among many others. While these programs receive generous support from many funders, it is important to note that NHPF contributed $838,000 to fund resident services programs during 2014. We remain committed to the continued success of the program and to helping our many residents achieve a full and rewarding life.

NHPF’S AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). NHPF had a strong 2014, ending the year with total assets of $291 million including cash and cash equivalents of nearly $19.2 million. NHPF ended the year with net income of approximately $3.3 million (excluding a net loss of $6.2M attributable to non-controlling interests). NHPF’s real estate portfolio performed extremely well in 2014, ending the year with an occupancy rate of 95.7% and has continued to be strong in 2015 with an occupancy rate at the end of April 2015 of 96.6%. Our asset management team continues its aggressive oversight of the companies that manage our properties. We have continued our efforts to evaluate energy and water use at all our properties. NHPF has taken measures to reduce water consumption at 7 of our properties, representing about 1,700 units. Based on initial results, NHPF anticipates that water saving measures at just these 7 properties will cut water consumption by 70 million gallons annually. NHPF recently completed a major rehabilitation of a 200-unit property that has resulted in a 30% decrease in gas usage, a 42% decrease in water usage and a 27% decrease in electricity usage. Additionally a 94-unit new development in Washington DC achieved the Enterprise Green Communities Certification. We believe green is good. NHPF continues to focus its efforts on creating, rehabilitating and preserving multi-family affordable housing. During 2014 we acquired Cleme Manor, a 284-unit affordable housing property located in Houston Texas. Through The NHP Foundation-Urban Atlantic Fund I, our joint venture with a major bank and Urban Atlantic

STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

AS WE CELEBRATE NHPF’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY, we have worked hard to position the company to achieve careful, prudent and opportunistic portfolio growth. That growth will be guided by our recently launched 5-Year Strategic Plan, which will set NHPF’s trajectory through 2019. Our three strategic priorities are clear: • Preserving more Affordable Housing to Low- and Moderate- Income Families and Seniors • Building a Sustainable Platform for Continued Success • Maximizing the Impact of Resident Services in Individual Properties and the Surrounding Communities Our path to achieving strategic success in these priority areas will take full advantage of recent accomplishments that provide the structure for moving forward:

NHPF F I SCAL YEAR 20 1 4 ANNUAL REPORT

• Establishing the Affiliates Program In 2014 NHPF added over 400 housing units to its portfolio through the growing Affiliates Program, an initiative essential to the growth of our affordable housing portfolio. Created in 2011, the Affiliate Program partners with mission-aligned affordable housing developers/owners, housing authorities, tenant associations, and other municipal and community organizations who lack the resources, manpower, expertise and/or financial statement to renovate existing assets or develop new properties. Upon joining the Affiliates Program, affordable housing providers can look to NHPF for an infusion of capacity-building resources in the areas of financing, development, asset management, resident services and fundraising support. With NHPF, Affiliates gain a strong financial partner and the expertise needed to support, and in many cases grow, their operations. • Expanding our Redevelopment Efforts NHPF has redeveloped more than $250 million of affordable housing in the past few years, producing excellent results for residents and substantial development fees and goodwill for NHPF. • Identifying New Alliances and Capital Partners These alliances include good work being done with the National Housing Preservation Fund jointly sponsored by NHPF and Urban Atlantic, a $50 million equity fund, and the Housing Partnership Equity Trust, an $80 million REIT formed by NHPF and 11 other nonprofits for the acquisition and

preservation of affordable housing. • Improving Portfolio Performance

Occupancy and cash flow continue to be strong, and careful attention to each of our assets has achieved excellent results in the overall portfolio performance.

ASSET MANAGEMENT

DESPITE ECONOMIC CHALLENGES from increased operating costs due to the harsh winter in the northeast, NHPF’s affordable multi-family portfolio enjoyed another successful and stable year in 2014. The portfolio maintained a physical occupancy of 95.7% throughout the year with an overall portfolio debt service coverage ratio of 1.47. NHPF’s properties collectively distributed in excess of $1.2 million to help fund NHPF operations. During 2014, the NHPF portfolio grew by a net of 449 units, adding properties in Houston, Texas and Toledo, Ohio. Atlantic City Townehouse in Atlantic City, New Jersey was sold in December. Approximately 25% of our portfolio receives project-based HUD Section 8 rent subsidies and 15% of the portfolio is designated for low-income seniors. The rehabilitations of 252 affordable multi- family units in Glassboro, NJ and 88 units in the Bronx, New York were ongoing, with completion of both properties expected in 2015. We are planning on starting the rehabilitation of approximately 700 units in the Fourth Quarter of 2015.

“GREENING” OUR ASSETS

IN 2014, NHPF accelerated our commitment to “greening” our portfolio, including our ongoing participation in HUD’s Better Buildings Challenge. NHPF’s goal is to meet this challenge by reducing our energy consumption across our portfolio by 20% by 2020. All of our property rehabilitations are completed according to the Enterprise Green Communities ® energy efficiency standards. As part of the Better Buildings Challenge, multi- family housing partners showcase innovative strategies to boost energy efficiency, including lighting improvements, heating and cooling system upgrades, installing rooftop solar panels, and supporting new financing for energy retrofits and green construction. With our partners in the Stewards of Affordable Housing for the Future (SAHF), NHPF shares best practices and lesson learned—creating models for the broader U.S. multi-family housing industry. As water is becoming a scarce natural resource, one of the main areas of focus for asset management in 2014 was the reduction of water consumption across our portfolio, especially on properties that have not undergone recent rehabilitations. This included regular unit inspections to detect and repair leaking faucets, pipes, toilets, and retrofits of all plumbing fixtures with state-of-the-art energy efficient fixtures, and resident education regarding conservation. The results have been very favorable as water consumption has been reduced an average of 30% across our portfolio. NHPF looks forward to continuing our mission of providing high quality, well-maintained, and energy-efficient affordable housing across our portfolio.

ACQUISITIONS & REDEDICATIONS

CLEME MANOR HOUSTON, TEXAS The theme of the rededication ceremony held on December 1 was “Christmas has come early for the Residents of Cleme Manor.” The dignitaries and officials who spoke emphasized that the turnaround in Cleme Manor’s reputation and operations is a cornerstone in the overall gentrification of Houston’s Fifth Ward. NHPF’s acquisition and rehabilitation of Cleme Manor would not have been possible without the partnership of the City of Houston Housing and Community Development Department led by Neal Rackleff, Director and the Greater Fifth Ward Stakeholder Partnership. Houston City Councilman Jerry Davis shared with the guests that the City’s investment in Cleme Manor and the Fifth Ward has led to a welcomed reversal of the earlier decision to close Henderson Elementary, the area’s only public school.

ALPHA TOWERS TOLEDO, OH I O

The NHP Foundation-Urban Atlantic Fund acquired this troubled 165-unit senior housing community in August, 2014. Representatives of the Fund, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department, the State of Ohio, the City of Toledo and the Toledo Fair Housing Center joined with residents for a rededication ceremony on November 6. U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur spoke eloquently about the positive changes made since NHPF took over management of what was once a community battling deplorable living conditions.

RENOVATIONS & RIBBON CUTTINGS

BAYVI EW TOWERS STAMFORD, CONNECT ICUT

We were honored to have U.S. Congressman Jim Hines as the Master of Ceremonies for the August 12 ribbon cutting ceremony at Bayview Towers. The event celebrated the completion of the $13 million renovation of this 200-unit complex. The property, consisting of a 9-story and a 21-story tower, provides affordable housing in an otherwise high cost real estate market. The ribbon cutting included recognition of the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, PNC Bank, Connecticut Light and Power, and the City of Stamford as essential partners in making the project possible.

HOLLYBUSH GARDENS GLASSBORO, NEW JERSEY

The neighbors and staff at Hollybush Gardens held a ribbon cutting event on December 15 to officially open their new Community Centre. It is a wonderful new venue for after-school learning opportunities, financial success programs, and wellness workshops available to all Hollybush Gardens residents. Sean Redman, a high school vice principal and former college football record- holder, told the gathered crowd how growing up in Hollybush Gardens was a positive and character-building experience on which his life accomplishments are based.
