How we're growing vibrant SC communities

March is a month full of opportunity and progress here at SCCLF: we've grown our staff, helped increase affordable housing options for Greenville-area seniors, and are offering new technical assistance opportunities across the state.

We also became one of the first CDFI's across the country to receive an investment through the CDFI Community Investment Fund, a joint initiative by Woodforest National Bank and the Opportunity Finance Network . This investment will allow us to grow our lending capacity and make more loans in South Carolina's most vulnerable communities. Read more about this investment and our other March happenings below.

We hope you'll choose to participate in one of our upcoming technical assistance opportunities, or help us spread the word about them. Don't forget that we're hosting a free New Market Tax Credit (NMTC) Workshop tomorrow in Greenville and that the deadline to apply for Feeding Innovation Anderson is coming up on April 18th.

As always, thank you for joining us in our efforts to cultivate more equitable, sustainable South Carolina communities!

In Partnership,

Michelle Mapp
