  • California Community Reinvestment Corporation and Federal Home Loan Bank of SF Partner to Ensure the Preservation of Affordable Housing

    Flexible Financing Partnership Guarantees Development in San Diego Will Remain Affordable GLENDALE, CA, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2025 -- California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC) is excited to announce a crucial financing partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLBank San Francisco) to ensure the long-term stability of Creekside Trails affordable housing in San Diego. Originally funded in 2006 with CCRC financing, Creekside Trails has provided vulnerable residents in San Diego with support for well over a decade. Still, deliberate financing strategies are necessary to mitigate the risk of these units becoming market rate during the tax credit resyndication process. Supportive financing from FHLBank San Francisco allows CCRC to refinance the development using CCRC’s bridge loan lending product, which bridges the re-syndication of tax credits to guarantee the units remain affordable. As these units serve a population earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), this partnership decisively assures that the valued current residents of Creekside Trails will not be displaced or forced into extreme rent burden. FHLBank San Francisco is committed to supporting affordable housing and partnering with the diverse and wide range of coalitions necessary to combat the housing crisis. As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and member of FHLBank San Francisco, CCRC is looking forward to leaning in with fellow housing-committed partners and building an equitable future for housing in California.

  • CCRC Partners With FHLBank San Francisco To Support Wildfire Recovery

    California Community Reinvestment Corporation funds relief and rebuilding efforts for Southern California families impacted by disaster GLENDALE, CA, UNITED STATES, April 23, 2025 -- California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC), California’s premier Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) for multifamily affordable housing lending, is announcing a partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to support disaster recovery in Southern California following the devastating wildfires that impacted families and communities. Through FHLBank San Francisco’s Disaster Relief Member Matching Contribution Program, CCRC has directed critical funds to Neighborhood Housing Services of Los Angeles County (NHS)—a mission-driven nonprofit with deep roots in local housing and community development. The history of Altadena is one of cultural significance and one that speaks to the central tenets of the California Community Reinvestment Corporation. This historically Black and Latino community was one of the areas hardest hit by the wildfires and is home to generational homeowners and small businesses, many of which now face uncertain futures. CCRC’s donation of $25,000 is being matched by FHLBank San Francisco as part of its $2 million wildfire relief initiative, which includes $1.4 million in $2-for-$1 matching funds for member institutions. NHS of Los Angeles County, which has been empowering residents and preserving affordable homeownership since 1984, is using the funds to assist with both immediate needs and long-term recovery planning of communities across Southern California. “This isn’t typically our space—we do not have a disaster relief program,” said Tia Boatman Patterson, President and CEO of CCRC. “But when we saw the opportunity to partner with FHLBank San Francisco and get much-needed funding into the hands of an organization like NHS, which is already on the ground doing the work, we knew we had to act.” For CCRC, this collaboration reflects a deeper commitment to community preservation and long-term resilience. The wildfires impacted neighborhoods that are not only rich in culture and history but also represent some of the few areas in Southern California where generational Black and Latino homeownership has been sustained. With the state and local agencies still navigating clean-up and recovery logistics, CCRC saw an urgent opportunity to step in where it could add value—by leveraging strategic partnerships to uplift those directly involved in recovery. By supporting NHS, CCRC aims to keep these efforts top of mind and ensure that families, small businesses and historic communities like Altadena are not left behind in the rebuilding process. “The wildfires may have faded from headlines, but recovery does not stop when the flames are out,” said Tia Boatman Patterson. “This partnership is rooted in the commitment to keeping the rebuilding process visible and ongoing until these communities are fully restored.” About California Community Reinvestment Corporation: California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC) is a reliable and trusted partner and California’s premier multifamily affordable housing lender, tackling the affordable housing crisis throughout the state.

  • CCRC attends San Gabriel Valley Consortium on Homelessness' Pro-Housing Summit

    San Gabriel Valley Consortium on Homelessness recently hosted a pro-housing summit called “A New Season: Making Space For Affordable Housing” in San Dimas, CA! California Community Reinvestment Corporation was honored not just to provide support in the development of the event, but also to be represented in-person by Relationship Manager Ting Ting Xiao. Ting Ting was honored to join a collective of housing policy change-makers, each with versed knowledge and a diverse array of specializations, in discussion of the future of the industry. Included in the agenda of the event were several recent policy developments in California, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s first Executive Directive geared towards alleviating the crisis of homelessness. This directive, which radically shortens the permitting process of housing development, has had sweeping implications on the housing industry in Los Angeles. Industry leaders collectivized to understand these wide-ranging impacts and imagine the future of an ED1-oriented housing market. Other relevant discussion points included the YIGBY (Yes In God’s Backyard) movement, which seeks to expand provisions to develop affordable housing on land belonging to faith-based organizations. The YIGBY movement relies on a commitment to SB 4, a senate bill that streamlines the approval process for development on land owned by religious institutions and nonprofit colleges. Finding new, innovative zoning solutions challenges stagnation in housing and meets the urgent supply crisis forcing vulnerable Californians into risk. Further, the event covered methods of advocacy and destigmatization to opponents of affordable housing in order to reverse some of the destructive narratives keeping developments from widespread public approval. Creating favorable public sentiment in affordable housing can lead to the conditions for less project delays and increased voter turnout when affordable housing policy is on the docket. CCRC looks forward to continuing to imagine the future of affordable housing policy and network at further pro-housing events.
