Finance Fund Capital Corporation
Funding for Low-Income Communities
There are many challenges to bringing capital to distressed urban and rural communities. Insufficient income or assets and difficulty in meeting credit requirements can make it impossible for potential borrowers to access affordable capital from mainstream lenders. The resulting lack of investment in impoverished neighborhoods contributes to a cycle of declining property values, lower tax revenues and high rates of unemployment and poverty.
Who We Are
