Who We Are

Main Street Loan Fund, a subsidiary CDE of Caribbean Integration Community Development (CICD), brings affordable housing and commercial developments to distressed urban areas. Through partnerships with foundations, municipalities and CRA lenders and the innovative leveraging of limited resources, we bring economic health and prosperity to BIPOC communities, developing affordable housing options. We also offer flexible, affordable financing to developers and entrepreneurs who are often excluded from accessing equity investment.

“Housing is absolutely essential to human flourishing. Without stable shelter, it all falls apart.”

— Matthew Desmond, Pulitzer Prize winning sociologist
