South Carolina Community Loan Fund

To advance equitable access to capital by providing loans, technical assistance, and advocacy for affordable housing, healthy food, community facilities, and community business enterprises.

We are a nonprofit organization that transforms and revitalizes communities throughout South Carolina by financing projects that provide housing, access to food and essential services, attract businesses, employ community members and stimulate economic activity. By providing loans and technical assistance to organizations that seek to strengthen the social and economic fabric of local communities, we empower communities to effect their own transformation.

Since 2004, we have provided 309 loans for $37.6 million in financing that facilitated more than $235.7 million in community development projects; we financed 1,348 housing units, 9 healthy food outlets, 14 community facilities, and 14 community businesses, creating or retaining 2,754 jobs and providing a safe, affordable place to call home for 3,370 individuals and families.
