Project Profile:

In partnership with the City of New York, Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., the Rockefeller, Ford, MacArthur, Starr and Open Society foundations, LISC launched the $200 million New York Acquisition Loan Fund to provide previously unavailable capital for property acquisition for new development or to preserve at-risk affordable housing. This new fund is seen as a model for replication across the country. Also, LISC created a number of tools to be used in conjunctions with the use of these funds including grants in support of early preservation work and a line of credit program for CDC partners.
