THE JORDI
INNOVATION FUND

Through creativity, innovation, and determination, Philippe Jordi led Island Housing Trust into the Island’s most impactful non-profit developer of permanently affordable housing. By leveraging partnerships, pioneering financing strategies, and advancing green building practices, he turned bold housing ideas into lasting community assets.

A LASTING
RESOURCE

The goal of the Jordi Innovation Fund is to raise $2 million as a permanent resource dedicated to housing solutions that fall outside traditional public funding programs.
Managed separately from IHT's operating and project funds, the Jordi Innovation Fund will provide flexible capital to pursue opportunities that might otherwise remain out of reach, providing lasting support for innovative housing solutions on Martha's Vineyard.
