Enterprise Community Investment, Inc. is a leading provider of the development capital and expertise it takes to create decent, affordable homes and rebuild communities.

Founded in 1984 as a socially motivated for-profit corporation, we work in unison with our parent organization, Enterprise Community Partners, Inc., to provide a "single source" for financing needs and expertise related to affordable housing and community development.
