Chicago Community Loan Fund (CCLF) provides low-cost, flexible financing and hands-on technical assistance to community development organizations for:

• affordable housing
• economic/commercial development
• social service/nonprofit facility initiatives

CCLF supports challenging projects that will help revitalize low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and suburban communities throughout metropolitan Chicago--aiding families and communities along the path toward economic stability, prosperity, and sustainability.

Whether CCLF finances a big part of a small project, or a small part of a big project, our loans make the critical difference.
