FEATURED INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY #1: The Opportunity: Women’s Community Revitalization Project is Raising $1M to Create Affordable Housing for Low Income Families and Pays Up To 4% (Women-Led)Details: In its pursuit to build long term, affordable housing, Women's Community Revitalization Project is often at a disadvantage against speculative private developers, who have ready access to capital. So WCRP has established an Acquisition and Development Loan Fund that will enable them to move quickly to purchase real estate parcels in some of Philadelphia’s rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods. Over the last 35 years
WCRP has developed and now manages more than 300 affordable homes. Their fund is raising $1M via 5 year loans that pay up to 4%. To learn more, contact Nora Lichtash, Executive Director.
