We finance Hope in Hartford.
|
|
The Hartford Community Loan Fund, a private
not-for-profit organization, was founded with the belief
that individuals and neighborhoods both thrive when
they’re invested in, when hope is no longer deferred,
and when dreams become realities. Since our inception in
1997 (we were formerly the South Hartford Initiative)
we’ve facilitated over $15 million of investments in the
hopes and dreams of entrepreneurs, homeowners, and
community leaders in Hartford’s southern neighborhoods.
We’ve provided critical funding to more than 60 small
businesses and helped rehab more than 150 homes in the southend.
And in 2007 we began investing in the hopes
of residents, business owners, and neighborhood leaders
throughout the rest of Hartford.
As a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI)
certified by the US Treasury Department, our mission is
to help stabilize and revitalize Hartford’s
neighborhoods and create affordable housing and economic
opportunities for residents and business owners in
Hartford’s low and moderate income neighborhoods. |

HCLF Investments in
Hartford Neighborhoods |
The Loan Fund accomplishes this mission through: 1)
providing financial and technical assistance to
homeowners, developers, and small business owners; and
2) facilitating public/private partnerships with diverse
constituencies committed to the revitalization of
Hartford neighborhoods.
Working closely with area banks, we help connect our
partner financial institutions with residents and
business owners in Hartford who may be isolated from the
financial mainstream due to a any number of potential
barriers – language, cultural differences, literacy,
lack of personal assets, or just understanding our
increasingly complex credit system. Our goal is to serve
as a bridge into this financial mainstream for our
customers. In the process we want to be a catalyst for
strengthening and rebuilding Hartford’s neighborhoods.
Helping dreams become realities.
We finance Hope.
