Examples of local govt in CD lending

[Community Development Banking List]

Original message from: ratclifj@email.unc.edu

Hi all,

Can you point me in the direction of any examples or reports of local
governments working with and or supporting and/or doing community
development lending? I'm thinking in housing, second mortgage programs,
or partnership lending for small business development, in partnership
with CDFIs or local organizations, or on their own... any and all ideas
most welcome.

Auckland, NZ's biggest city has recently done a government re-design and
their new Chief Economist is keen to partner with/support the nascent
CDFI movement here and is looking for ... I quote...

any literature or case examples on the role of local governments in
social lending facilities. I am after some concrete examples where
local government has been involved in a constructive way ...I was
very optimistic with some of the roles that were put forward - but
if we are able to say that these roles have been tested elsewhere we
are likely to make greater inroads. Any information that you have
will help me push this a little more. Information can be well used
in the next few weeks.

Any and all help will be most appreciated,

Laura

Laura,

I would like to brag on my city just a little. Louisville Kentucky has
a wonderful program called COOL, Corridors of Opportunity that provides
funding to small businesses for their economic development. The person
you would need to speak with is Charles Foree. His phone number is
502-574-1554. He will gladly provide you with information on all the
programs, COOL is just one, that the city offers.

Good luck with your endeavor.

Hi Janneke,

New York State has a long-standing grant program (1997) for the State's CDFIs that lend to woman and minority owned businesses. This year the State has added a low interest loan program, also for CDFIs doing small business lending. The program is run through the Empire State Development Corporation. You can get more details at http://www.empire.state.ny.us/BusinessPrograms/CDFI.html ('http://www.empire.state.ny.us/BusinessPrograms/CDFI.html')

Laura,

I think that you will find the examples too numerous to list. Although it
varies with jurisdiction, during various times, and with availability of
funds, US local (and state) governments have been active for many years in
community development lending, both with and without CDFIs. For example, a
market analysis I worked on, "NeighborWorks Network: Real Estate
Development Capital," found that "Local Programs" provided about 14% of the
total capital that these nonprofits used to develop affordable housing and
community oriented real estate projects. This is an understatement, I think,
For this narrow market segment insofar as these same local governments
likely invested in the nonprofits too, as well as their deals.

Some programs available to localities are specifically designed for
community lending, such as the HUD 108 program (which also has other uses).


Although obtaining examples may be useful to you at this juncture, I think
that am even more significant question is how local community lending is
carried out effectively. Best wishes for advancing CDFIs in NZ.
