Latino Social Venture Fund | RAZA School Building Fund | The Site Acquisition Fund
   
  Helping community developers effectively compete for site control in
hot real estate markets

Within the last five years, it has been commonplace in nearly all growth markets nationally for raw and improved land prices to have increase 50% and, and in many cities, nearly 100%. Further exacerbating the challenge for nonprofit developers is both the short fuse on purchase agreements and the working capital and equity required lenders (between 25% and 50%) for such loans. The Site Acquisition Fund was created as a resource for affordable housing developers and community service providers purchasing commercial real estate for educational, health and other neighborhood program centers. The goal is to provide affordably priced loans at a high loan-to-value to borrowers with committed operating or sales contracts.

The Fund is a partnership with JP Morgan Chase Bank; which provides loan capital as well as grant funds for subordinate debt and guarantees. The combination of the Chase and RDF's capital allow RDF to make loans up to 24 months, at below prime at an average of 90% loan-to value.
