Mga Layunin ng CWB

Mangyaring magbigay ng maikling update sa iyong pag-unlad patungo sa iyong mga iminungkahing layunin sa CWB sa huling panahon ng pag-uulat:

During this reporting period, The Resurrection Project (TRP) has been able to convene with our CCWB network partners, community stakeholders, cooperative housing members, existing cooperatives, and consulting as we furthered defined our scope of work and began to plan activities toward our proposed CWB goals. An important milestone was met in September when we hired Ray Arroyo as the Program Manager for Housing Cooperatives. We feel positive about the progress we have made toward our goals, which include the development of a housing cooperative share loan product and building a pipeline of buyer-ready cooperative candidates.

Anong mga hadlang o limitasyon, kung mayroon man, ang naranasan mo sa huling panahon ng pag-uulat?

One major challenge we have identified is the lack of share loans and share loan resources in Chicago for cooperative buyers. Not only is there a lack of share loan lending, there are few people, organizations, and institutions that have expertise on the topic. To address this challenge, we have been resourceful and persistent in our search for information. We have tapped into the housing cooperative network, identifying key relationships and resources along the way. Additionally, the trend we have identified is the need for financial wellness education for prospective cooperative buyers. Folks are struggling to manage their income and need financial stabilization. Many interested folks also have zero to low percentage of credit history, which prevents them from accessing lending products. Ineligibility because of legal status is also another big barrier for folks who are undocumented or have not received their ITIN numbers or work permits. There is also a lack of community level resources for housing cooperatives, such as. These resources are grants, and supporting programs that can help address the financial challenges faced by potential cooperative housing participants.

Anong mga pagkakataon, kung mayroon man, ang iyong sinamantala sa huling panahon ng pag-uulat?

We attended the launch gathering to meet our partners and collaborators in our network. We have also met with partners, including PIHCO, Fresh-Start, UHAB, and CWBE partner leads. We have also engaged with community partners and professionals who are experienced and knowledgeable in cooperative housing, including staff from CCLF. This engagement involved discussions, sharing of insights, and exploring potential collaboration opportunities. Finally, we are in the process of finalizing TRP’s HUD Community Project Funding grant, which awarded $1M to TRP for share loan capital and $1M to PIHCO for building acquisition. We look forward to executing that contract and incorporating those grant activities into our housing cooperative initiative.

Mangyaring magbahagi ng anumang direktang testimonial mula sa mga kliyente ng LEHC o pagkukuwento tungkol sa epekto ng iyong trabaho sa panahong ito:

When TRP started thinking about housing cooperatives more than three years ago, we understood there was a need for share loans in Chicago and we thought there was a role for TRP as a CDFI. Today, as we dive into this work more deeply, the need for share loans is felt even more acutely. We heard this from partners at CCLF who provide housing cooperative umbrella loans, but not individual share loans. We heard it from housing cooperative organizers at PIHCO and La Villita Housing Cooperative who are working with low-income residents, many of whom are immigrants. And we heard it from housing cooperative experts at UHAB, Shared Capital Cooperative, and Center for Shared Ownership who have long recognized this gap in the housing cooperative ecosystem. We are happy to be working in this space and look forward to developing as needed loan product. With 33 years of experience providing homeownership and financial education, TRP is excited to contribute to the coop ecosystem.
