Renaissance Awarded $950,000 to Support Economic Growth in Low-Income Communities in Mississippi

9/26/2018

0 Comments

 
Gulfport, MS - Renaissance Community Loan Fund officials announced the local nonprofit has been awarded $950,000 from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. The grant is part of the 2018 CDFI Program, which was established to serve low-income communities across the country through financial and technical assistance.

​Renaissance, a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution, provides personalized
lending products, and specializes in assisting low-income and credit-challenged borrowers
achieve homeownership and become business owners. As a CDFI, Renaissance supports its
clients with extensive financial counseling throughout the life of the loan, resulting in a greater client success rate.

Renaissance will use the funds to expand its products and services in the state. Renaissance
began offering affordable lending programs in 2007 in South Mississippi, and in 2017, opened
an office in Tupelo to better serve the residents in North Mississippi. This award now allows
Renaissance to continue its growth with a focus on Central Mississippi. Additionally, the award
provides the resources to expand on its specialized loan products to meet the needs of its
existing and new borrowers throughout Mississippi.

“Renaissance is honored to receive this award of funds and is grateful to the US Treasury and
the CDFI Fund for allowing us to continue our mission and promote economic opportunity
throughout the state,” said Kimberly LaRosa, president and CEO of Renaissance Community
Loan Fund. “It was a record amount of funding announced for CDFI’s in Mississippi, due in large part to the outstanding advocacy by our Mississippi delegation to demonstrate the importance of CDFI Fund programs in the state.”

Chuck Wall, CFO for the Renaissance Community Loan Fund (RCLF) provided information on the opportunity zones that has the potential to be the largest economic development program in U. S. history.  12 zones were selected in Coastal counties with two in Hancock County.  A complete list can be found at www.cdfifund.gov/pages/opportunity-zones.aspx.  Wall said a qualified opportunity fund is an investment vehicle (partnership or corporation) that will accept investments of deferred capital gains and cash investments for the purpose of investing in qualified opportunity zone property.  RCLF is seeking projects that can be residential or commercial mixed use developments, workforce housing, affordable housing, commercial real estate, operating businesses. (Sin businesses do not qualify.)  At this point, RCLF is awaiting further guidance from the U. S. Department of Treasury on how the opportunity zone program will be managed to attract outside investors.  For information, contact Tor Russell at trussell@rclfms.com and reference the opportunity zone project.

Success Story: Renaissance Business Loan Allows Tupelo Entrepreneur to Keep on Trucking

​Marcus Bell has had a love for trucks and trucking ever since he was a little boy. His father has been driving a truck for over 47 years, and he would take Marcus with him on his out of town trips. This seed of love for the trucking industry was planted at an early age, and it continued to grow. Marcus has now been driving on his own for 20 years.

After driving for various companies over the years and continuing  to build on his knowledge of the industry, Marcus knew that it was time he combined his passion for trucking and his extensive experience into something more substantial and long-term. He founded Bell Trucking in 2013 and purchased the company’s first truck. He was also awarded a Gold Star of Achievement for excellent customer service.

Five years and many more miles later, Bell Trucking, with the help of Renaissance’s flexible underwriting and personal one-one-one financial counseling, purchased a brand new, state-of-the-art truck. The new truck not only allows Marcus and Bell Trucking to continue providing excellent customer service for their clients, but affords them the peace of mind knowing they have dependable equipment to grow the business for years to come.
