Self-Help Ventures Fund
About
Self-Help Ventures Fund is a certified community development financial institution within the Self-Help family of organizations, headquartered in Durham, North Carolina. It is a loan fund founded in 1984 and carries its own awardee profile in the U.S. Treasury CDFI Fund's records, and the Self-Help organization states it is designated by the Treasury as a CDFI. It lends from a mission balance sheet rather than as a conventional bank, financing affordable housing and community development nationally, with an active lending presence in California.
Its lending includes single-close construction-to-permanent financing on income-restricted multifamily housing, a structure that lets a sponsor close construction and permanent debt in one instrument and fix long-term amortization at the outset rather than refinancing into a separate permanent loan.
LoanList has tracked one closing from Self-Help Ventures Fund: a $9,400,000 single-close construction-to-permanent loan for a 37-unit, 100 percent affordable housing project in South Los Angeles, structured at 80 percent of cost with 40-year fixed amortization.
