  The company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.14 per BUC, a substantial reduction from $0.37 per BUC in the prior year.

• Strategic Shift & Distressed Asset Acquisitions

  Greystone is pivoting away from market-rate joint venture investments due to challenging market dynamics, having contributed an additional $12.2 million in equity to five such investments in Q1 2026. It also acquired four distressed multifamily properties via deed in lieu of foreclosure, taking on $84 million in new mortgage debt.

• Preferred Unit Issuance Severely Limited

  The company is currently unauthorized to issue new Series A-1 or Series B Preferred Units because its BUC market capitalization ($127.5 million) is below the required two times the aggregate book value of outstanding preferred units ($205 million), severely restricting future capital raising.

Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP reported a sharp decline in Q1 2026 financial performance, with net income available to partners falling to $0.01 per BUC from $0.07 in the prior year. This significant underperformance led to a substantial cut in quarterly cash distributions to $0.14 per BUC from $0.37. The company also experienced a swing to negative cash flow from operations and a significant cash burn from investing activities. This comes amidst a strategic shift away from market-rate joint venture investments due to challenging market conditions and underperforming assets, which necessitated an additional $12.2 million in equity contributions to cover shortfalls. A critical development is the company's current inability to issue new preferred units, as its BUC market capitalization of $127.5 million falls below the required two times the aggregate book value of outstanding preferred units ($205 million). This severely limits future capital raising options. The company also acquired four distressed multifamily properties via deed in lieu of foreclosure, taking on $84 million in new mortgage debt, and continues to report a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting.
