At last night's County Council meeting, Chair Daniel Tripp, MBA honored CommunityWorks for its outstanding contributions to financial equity in South Carolina. Since its inception in 2008, CommunityWorks has been dedicated to providing equitable financial products and services to build wealth in financially underserved communities. Under the leadership of CEO Latorrie Geer, CommunityWorks has made a significant impact through its small and microbusiness financing, affordable housing support, and community lending initiatives. Originally established as Greenville Housing Fund, the organization became a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) in 2012 and remains the only CDFI in South Carolina headquartered in Greenville County. In 2023 alone, CommunityWorks achieved a historic milestone by lending over $4.2 million to small businesses and affordable housing developers, marking the highest lending year in its history. Additionally, they assisted 43 homebuyers with down payment and closing cost funds, helping many realize the dream of homeownership. Congratulations to the CommunityWorks team for your unwavering commitment to building wealth and fostering financial stability in our community. Here's to continuing your impactful work for years to come! 🌟🏡 Learn more about CommunityWorks here: https://lnkd.in/epyF8yiT #CommunityWorksCarolina #CommunityWorks #GreenvilleSC #SouthCarolina #GreenvilleCountyCouncil #CDFI
