"In 2020, ANDP launched its $500M 'Closing the Gap' initiative to build or preserve 2,000 housing units in Metro Atlanta and double its CDFI loan fund by Dec. 2025. We have achieved 81% of our housing goal and tripled our loan fund to $34 million. Reaching these ambitious goals is only possible with robust partnerships, and NeighborWorks Capital is a key partner in our work.

NeighborWorks Capital Consulting has supported refining our Loan Fund policies and procedures to ensure alignment with new standards and updates required given our loan fund’s growth. They have been invaluable in supporting the development of capital management and growth strategies, ensuring we are prepared to meet affordable housing needs in our market. NeighborWorks Capital has made a decisive difference in our ability to grow the capacity and output of our loan fund."
