Leviticus Fund provides flexible capital for the development of affordable housing and community fac

The Leviticus Fund was founded in 1983 by church groups located in the New York metropolitan area who are members of the Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment. These founding members were already involved in shareholder advocacy – using their assets to influence corporate policies that impact the economically poor – and saw the creation of the Leviticus Fund as a way to directly respond to needs in low-income communities.

In September, we'll mark the 32nd anniversary of the CDFI Fund, but the bi-partisan initiative that's helped build affordable housing, revitalize neighborhoods and foster entrepreneurship is now at risk. In our latest newsletter, we highlight the role of CDFIs like the Leviticus Fund with:

📊 A new study on New Jersey's affordable housing financing gaps;
🎓 What a colleague learned in "CDFIs 101," and why it matters now;
🏗️ Groundbreaking at the Broadway Triangle in Brooklyn; and
🏠 How a shuttered motel near Kingston is being retooled to deliver supportive housing.

$289 million in Congressionally-approved CDFI funding from 2025 is sitting unreleased, with a federal lapse deadline of September 30. Delays and uncertainty are keeping real families from realizing the dream of safe, stable housing they can afford. Read more here: http://eepurl.com/OFOG0PB2vn

If you're in Orlando celebrating seventy years of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) and the many charisms that sustain religious life across the Americas, please stop by the Leviticus Fund's booth ( #304) to learn more about our work at the intersection of Hope and Home!

In May of 1983, 27 religious communities pooled $360,000 to form the Leviticus 25:23 Alternative Fund.

Since then, the Leviticus Fund has worked with our non-profit partners to invest more than $352.3 million to develop homes, purpose-built shelters and space for vital community services.

Seventy-five percent of that lending has supported the creation and preservation of homes for individuals and families who are low-, very low-, or extremely low-income – people for whom the private market has little incentive to build. We provide the hard-to-obtain financing that gets these projects off the ground and helps complete them.

When you support the Leviticus Fund, your capital goes directly to work to further your values in communities on the margins and with people and families in need.

Stop by Booth #304, say hello, and find out about the work you help make possible.

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) Assembly is a much-anticipated opportunity for us to connect with our supporters! If you're in Orlando, please stop by Booth #304 to catch up!

With the support of our investors, the Leviticus Fund provides the seed capital that helps mission take root. When communities invest with us, their resources are recycled again and again. A single dollar invested in Leviticus is loaned, repaid, and loaned again, supporting several different projects over the life of that investment. It is quiet, steady work, and the impact grows year after year.

There are several ways to be part of this: a Member investment, an Associate investment, a gift to our Legacy Fund, or a tax-deductible donation. Whatever the size or shape of your support, it becomes seed capital for a nonprofit developer to strengthen communities and provide new opportunities for low-income individuals and families.

It's truly a worldwide gathering, as these three Sisters from France stopped by Booth #304.

The Leviticus Fund presented our 2026 Cornerstone Award to Allyx Schiavone and Friends Center for Children. In this clip, Allyx talks about their visionary Teacher Housing initiative and the support they have received from Leviticus. https://youtu.be/nbyfyfyj6UE?si=2cEZ9NWcuY7GPfzo&t=2

Founded in 2007 in a Quaker meetinghouse in New Haven, CT, Friends Center for Children has grown into one of the city's most innovative early childhood education providers. They serve low-income families through a sliding-scale tuition model, provide teacher housing, and manage a leadership program that opens paid pathways to credentialing for educators of color.

Last year, the Leviticus Fund provided a $2.6 million loan to refinance FCFC's headquarters, freeing up resources to expand programs and serve more families.

Home is where hope lives.

The Leviticus Fund's 2025 Annual Report is here - and behind the $72 million in lending this year are 2,091 affordable homes and the real people who live in them. Families. Seniors. Veterans. Workers priced out of their own communities.

48% of our lending reached areas where households spend more than 30% of their income. We work where the need is strongest - because safe, dignified, affordable homes change everything.

The workshop is designed for nonprofit affordable housing developers and decision-makers in New York looking to secure financing and strengthen their development pipeline in uncertain times.

* Real-World Risk Assessment: Attendees will hear directly from lenders and fellow developers about navigating today's most pressing challenges, including rising construction costs, supply chain impacts, and thin operating margins.

“Borrowers will be more likely to secure predevelopment or acquisition financing if they understand lender expectations,” said Greg Maher, Executive Director of the Leviticus Fund. “This workshop offers an opportunity for developers to connect with industry experts to share insights and strategies for success.”

There is no cost to attend the workshop, but registration is required.
