Baltimore Community Lending Our service area is Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, Carroll County, Anne Arundel County, Harford County, and Howard County.

Baltimore Community Lending is a CDFI that supports the revitalization and strengthening of underserved communities in the Baltimore Region through innovative and flexible financial assistance for real estate developers and small business owners. Baltimore Community Lending provides loan capital to small real estate developers and small business owners who have no relationship with or are unable to get a loan from a bank, and who are committed to developing underserved neighborhoods. We work with the government, foundations, financial institutions, community stakeholders, anchor institutions, and small business owners early in the planning process to provide small-to-mid size capital solutions leading to a more diverse and economically balanced Baltimore.

Behind every dollar invested is a business owner working to build something bigger.

Baltimore Community Lending ended fiscal year 2025 by deploying more than $5.1 million in small business loans, helping entrepreneurs access capital and create opportunities for growth.

When entrepreneurs grow, Baltimore grows with them.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth!❤️💙🤍

A day that commemorates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of opportunity for all.

Observed annually on June 19, Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

While Juneteenth is often associated with red, black, and green through Pan-African celebrations and symbolism, the official Juneteenth flag is proudly red, white, and blue which is a reminder that Black history is American history and that freedom and opportunity should belong to everyone.

At Baltimore Community Lending, we recognize that true economic freedom extends beyond access. It includes access to capital, investment, entrepreneurship, homeownership, and opportunities that help communities thrive for generations.

Today, we honor the progress made, reflect on the work that remains, and reaffirm our commitment to helping build stronger communities through equitable access and economic opportunity. Period.💯 ❤️🤍💙

We’re proud to be part of the continued transformation of the Upton community here in Baltimore.

In partnership with Harrison Development and aligned with the Upton Planning Committee’s vision for “The Upton of tomorrow,” we’re helping move forward Phase 3, The Division Street Project.

Through strategic financing as part of the Baltimore Vacant Reinvestment Initiative (BVRI), this effort will bring nine vacant properties back to life as new homeownership opportunities for residents.

We were honored to attend the first ribbon cutting alongside Watchen Bruce , BCL Senior Loan Officer Tracy Evans, Secretary Jake Day and Assistant Commissioner Wendi Redfern-Curtis to celebrate this milestone.

This is what it looks like when partnership, vision, and investment come together to create real, lasting change.
