Virginia Community Capital Supports Communities
Virginia Community Capital made significant advancements in its impact lending goals, providing over $259 million in financing for 407 community impact projects across Virginia as of December 2014. The company has financed eight healthcare centers, supported 3,367 jobs and funded nearly 5,000 affordable housing units. Recently, VCC provided a gap construction loan to the Park Brothers to build Round Hill Meadows, a 120 unit mixed-income neighborhood consisting of 60 market rate and 60 affordable apartment homes. The affordable apartments will be critical in the town of Orange, Va., which has a 5.3 percent unemployment rate, a 11.1 percent poverty rate and a large demand for more affordable housing rental properties.
