Nff And Trinity Church Invest $1.5 Million To Help Faith Organizations Plan Affordable Housing And Community Development Projects

Loading. Loading...New York, NY, July 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) and Trinity Church have partnered to launch a pilot program serving faith organizations as they pursue community development projects. The Faith in Our Communities Fund will allow NFF to provide flexible pre-development loans, backed by Trinity's credit guarantee, to faith organizations often unable to access mainstream sources of capital."Faith-based organizations hold deep connections and commitments in our neighborhoods, and understand local needs and opportunities," said Aisha Benson, President and CEO of NFF. "We can supply the capital and technical expertise to support these organizations and bolster community ownership of assets."The Faith in Our Communities Fund is offered through NFF's Building Equitable Assets for Communities and Nonprofits (BEACoN) initiative and Trinity's Mission Real Estate Development initiative. As faith-based nonprofits across the country consider how to manage their real estate to pursue mission-aligned work, the Fund will provide financing for capital improvements that advance development planning, pre-development costs, and expert counsel."This program will provide more runway to religious organizations to plan strategically for the use of their property without succumbing to the pressure to make short-term decisions with long-term assets," said the Rev James Clark III, Managing Director of Mission Real Estate Development at Trinity Church.The concept of using credit-enhancement to unlock capital is not new. However, this method has seldom been used to support faith organizations

Nonprofit Finance Fund Receives $5.5 Million To Support Community-Owned Assets In New Jersey

NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) is pleased to announce a $5 million investment from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The investment will support lending to New Jersey community development corporations, community land trusts, faith-based and other nonprofits pursuing property ownership for long-term community well-being. NFF will also receive a $500,000 grant to fund the implementation of this work."To serve their communities, nonprofits need to ensure they won't be displaced by rising rents —and property ownership helps provide that security," said Jennifer Kawar, Vice President of NFF. "We are grateful to RWJF for this critical investment which will help New Jersey nonprofits to acquire facilities that will ensure they can reliably deliver services, provide residents with jobs, and build community power."New Jersey has one of the starkest racial wealth gaps in the country, in large part due to its history of racist government redlining policies that excluded communities of color from home ownership. And in New Jersey’s most populous city, Newark, institutional investors are purchasing residential properties wholesale and driving up property values and rent prices, pushing residents and community organizations out of the places they call home.“Property ownership is a pillar of our strategy to support working families striving to build fulfilling lives in this community,” said Keely Freeman, Executive Director of Sierra House, a New Jersey nonprofit that has purchased real estate with NFF financing and is continuing with its strategy to support the development of affordable housing
