A former White House chief usher during Donald Trump’s presidency raised about $100 million for a real estate fund to help first-time homebuyers make down payments.

Timothy Harleth is launching Generational Equity Labs. The Washington-based fund plans to use a technology platform linking would-be homebuyers to institutions that will essentially co-invest in a concept dubbed “equity sharing.” Investors will be able to buy and sell their shares of the real estate funds that hold the home equity stakes.
