 creation of a new **Investment Company;** or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. an
 increase in the gross assets of **Investment Companies** covered under the Bond,

The first named **Assured** shall be deemed to be the sole agent of the other **Assureds** for all purposes under this Bond, including but not limited to the giving or receiving of any notice or proof required to be given and for the purpose of effecting or accepting any amendments to or termination of this Bond.

If the first named **Assured** ceases for any reason to be covered under this Bond, then the **Assured** next named on the Application shall thereafter be considered as the first named **Assured** for the purposes of this Bond.

The Company shall furnish each **Assured** with a copy of the Bond and with any amendment thereto, together with a copy of each formal filing of claim by any other **Assured** and notification of the terms of the settlement of each such claim prior to the execution of such settlement.

All loss and other payments, if any, payable by the Company, shall be payable to the first named **Assured** without regard to such **Assured's** obligations to others, and the Company shall not be responsible for the application by the first named **Assured** of any payment made by the Company. If the Company agrees to and makes payment to any **Assured** other than the first named **Assured,** such payment shall be treated as though made to the first named **Assured.**

The Company shall not be liable for loss sustained by one **Assured** to the advantage of any other **Assured.**

The Company may, at its sole option, elect to conduct the defense of all or part of such legal proceeding. The defense by the Company shall be in the name of the **Assured** through attorneys selected by the Company.

If the Company elects to defend all or part of any legal proceeding, the court costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the Company and any settlement or judgment on that part defended by the Company shall be a loss under the applicable Insuring Clause of this Bond. In addition, if the amount demanded in the legal proceeding is greater than the amount recoverable under this Bond, or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the Company's liability for court costs and attorneys' fees incurred in defending all or part of such legal proceeding is limited to the proportion of such court costs and attorneys' fees incurred that the amount recoverable under this Bond bears to the total of the amount demanded in such legal proceeding.

If the Company declines to defend the **Assured,** no settlement without the prior written consent of the Company or judgment against the **Assured** shall determine the existence, extent or amount of coverage under this Bond, and the Company shall not be liable for any costs, fees and expenses incurred by the **Assured.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Other
 Insurance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Coverage

 indemnity or suretyship obtained by or on behalf of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) the **Assured;** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) a **Transportation Company;** or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) another
 entity on whose premises the loss occurred or which employed the person causing the loss

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Solely
 with respect to Insuring Clause 7, in the event of a loss covered under this Bond and
 also covered under other valid and collectible insurance issued by the Company, or a
 parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to the **Assured,** the Single Loss Limit Of Liability under this Bond shall be reduced by any
 payment under any other such valid and collectible insurance and only the remainder,
 if any, shall be applicable to such loss covered hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. Securities
 Settlement

In the event of a loss of **Securities** covered under this Bond, the Company may, at its sole discretion, purchase replacement **Securities,** tender the value of the **Securities** in **Money,** or issue its indemnity to effect replacement **Securities.**

The indemnity required from the **Assured** under the terms of this Section against all loss, cost or expense arising from the replacement of **Securities** by the Company's indemnity shall be:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. for **Securities** having a value less than
 or equal to the applicable Deductible Amount - one hundred (100%) percent;

 of the applicable Deductible Amount but within the Single Loss Limit Of Liability - the
 percentage that the Deductible Amount bears to the value of the **Securities;** or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. for **Securities** having a value greater
 than the applicable Single Loss Limit Of Liability - the percentage that the Deductible
 Amount and portion in excess of the Single Loss Limit Of Liability bears to the value
 of the **Securities.** 

The value referred to in Sections 11.a., b., and c. is the value in accordance with Section 14., Valuation, regardless of the value of such **Securities** at the time the loss under the Company's indemnity is sustained.

The Company is not required to issue its indemnity for any portion of a loss of **Securities** which is not covered by this Bond, however, the Company may do so as a courtesy to the **Assured** in its sole discretion.

The **Assured** shall pay the proportion of the Company's premium charge for the Company's indemnity as set forth in Sections 11.a., b., and c. No portion of the Single Loss Limit Of Liability shall be used as payment of premium for any indemnity purchased by the **Assured** to obtain replacement **Securities.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. Subrogation

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. first,

 loss which would otherwise have been paid but for the fact that it is in excess of the
 Single Loss Limit Of Liability;

 to the Company in satisfaction of amounts paid in settlement of the **Assured's** claim;

 to the **Assured** in satisfaction of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. Termination

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. If
 the Bond is for a sole **Assured,** it
 shall not be terminated unless written notice shall have been given by the acting party
 to the affected party and to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission not less than
 sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of such termination.

 or fraudulent act committed by such **Employee,** whether in the employment of the **Assured** or otherwise, and whether against the **Assured** or any other person or entity, the **Assured:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. shall

 cause the **Assured** to suffer a loss
 covered by this Bond; and

 Bond terminates as to any **Employee** sixty
 (60) days after receipt by each **Assured** and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Money

Any loss of **Money,** or loss payable in **Money,** shall be paid in the **Money** of the United States of America or the dollar equivalent of it, determined by the free market rate of exchange in effect at the time of discovery of such loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Other
 Property

PF-52918 (08/21) Page 1 of 1

*Unanimously approved at the March 10, 2026 meeting of the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust Board of Trustees.*

**RESOLUTION APPROVING INVESTMENT BLANKET BOND**

**WHEREAS**, the Trust currently maintains an investment blanket bond in the amount of $15,000,000; and

**WHEREAS,** the Board of Trustees previously found and continues to believe that the cost to the Trust to maintain the investment blanket bond in the amount of $15,000,000, an amount that is in excess of regulatory requirements, is not excessive and that the additional cost is outweighed by the additional protection afforded to the Trust.

 **NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED**, that the Board of Trustees, after due consideration of all factors deemed relevant by the Board of Trustees, approves the form and amount of the renewal of the investment blanket bond, having determined that renewal of such investment blanket bond on similar terms is in a reasonable form and amount as provided in the meeting materials hereto, and in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17g-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

**FURTHER RESOLVED**, that the General Counsel continue to be designated as the Trust officer who shall make all filings and give all notices in connection with the investment blanket bond and be authorized to engage such outside counsel, third-party service provider or other agent to assist in executing the foregoing resolutions as may, in the judgment of this officer, be necessary.
