Additionally, we support Section 8 housing and look for SBA and USDA loans to support economic and job development. The Fund has developed partnerships with various State Housing Finance Agencies to assist LMI individuals and first time home buyers. All investments are government guaranteed or of the highest credit quality and support economic activity in targeted U.S. geographies that are designated by Fund Investors. Our focus is affordable housing, small business lending to spur job creation, and healthcare facilities. All investments in the Fund qualify for Investment Test Credit from the regulatory agencies under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).
