WHY MAKE A SOCIAL INVESTMENT THROUGH THE CLH FUND?
As a pioneering social investment fund, we have been managing philanthropic social investment for community housing projects for 11 years. We are currently the only nationwide lender of much-needed pre-development finance (e.g. to complete works prior to securing planning permission). As evidenced in the research we commissioned in 2018, Helping Communities Build, accessing early stage finance remains a key barrier for community-led housing schemes to take off. Community-led housing groups are still in need of risk-bearing, flexible and affordable finance in order to flourish, in conjunction with Government grants now on offer.
Your philanthropic money will make a hugely positive social return, but, after expected capital losses and management fees, an overall loss of 5%-10%.
Social investment opportunities for this fund are open until 30 April 2020.
