Affordable Housing Investments | Home Technology Ventures

THE HOME FRAMEWORK

Translating Innovation to Affordability

A holistic framework to measure the total cost of being housed and how innovation can lessen that burden

The Cost of Homes

HTV invests in technolgy that measurably elimates land, labor, materials and regulatory costs associated with the construction of new housing.

The Cost to Occupy

HTVs investments reduce the many costs that must be endured to occupy a home including transaction and closing costs, down payments, financing costs, taxes, and insurance.

The Cost of Maintenance, Repair & Operation

Our investments directly reduce the cost of maintenance and repair of homes as well as many operational costs such as utilities and security.

The Value of Equity

HTVs investments ensure more people have an opportunity to generate and access equity in their housing which can create meaningful wealth and offset housing costs.

Using this framework, the total cost to be housed can be summed up as H+O+M-E. When dividing this by the number of months one occupies their home, a standardized representation of total cost of housing (on a monthly basis) can be deduced. HTV's goal is to invest in technologies that lower that equation for every family in America.
