Community Reinvestment Fund

Minneapolis-based Community Reinvestment Fund works to raise capital on behalf of community development lenders through the secondary market for loans. Started in 1989, the group has injected hundreds of millions of dollars into low-income and economically disadvantaged communities across the country to help stimulate job creation and economic development, provide affordable housing, and construct community facilities.  Its work is credited with creating or retaining 73,000 jobs, developing 19,000 units of affordable housing, and directly benefiting 1.7 million people.
