Dwight Securities Management LLC raised funding to originate as much as $1 billion in construction loans, targeting the housing shortage that has driven up costs across the US.

The company in a Friday release said that the credit, backed by its current stock of properties, will fund the construction of market-rate multifamily housing over the coming year.
