Trustees of the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (the "Trust").
The Board of Trustees shall review this Charter at least

  1. Purpose

     The Nominating Committee (the "Committee") has as its
primary purpose responsibility for the nomination of a person to
serve as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

  2. Authority

     The Committee has been duly established by the Board of
Trustees of the Trust, and shall be provided with appropriate
resources to discharge its responsibilities.

  3. Composition and Term of Committee Members

     The Board of Trustees may, in its discretion, appoint the
members of the Committee, set the number of Committee members and
add or remove one or more members.  Members of the Committee may
not be interested persons of the Trust, as defined in Section
2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the

     Each member of the Committee shall serve until a successor

  4. Responsibilities

     In the event a vacancy exists on the Board of Trustees of

consider candidates recommended by any of the following (i)
members of the Committee, (ii) other members of the Board of
Trustees, (iii) participants, and (iv) management, in each case
in accordance with procedures to be adopted by the Committee.
Each candidate will be evaluated by the Committee in terms of
relevant experience that would enable the candidate to serve
effectively as a Trustee, as well as his or her compatibility
with respect to the Trust's mission.  In addition, candidates
will be evaluated based on their eligibility to serve under the
Trust's Declaration of Trust.  When a viable candidate has been
identified, the members of the Committee may conduct in-person
interviews of each candidate using a standardized questionnaire.
When all of the candidates recommended to the Committee have been
evaluated and, if applicable, interviewed, the Committee will
determine which of the viable candidates should be presented to
the Board of Trustees of the Trust for nomination to participants
to become a member of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.



     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any vacancy
occurring as a result of the death or resignation of any Union
Trustee or Management Trustee within the contemplation of Section
2.7 of the Declaration of Trust shall be filled in the manner
provided in such Section 2.7.

  5. Meetings

     The Committee shall meet on an "as needed" basis and is
empowered to hold special meetings as circumstances require.

     A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute
a quorum.  The Committee may take action by unanimous written
consent.

     Minutes of each meeting will be taken and circulated to all
members of the Committee in a timely manner.  Counsel to the
