Partners and Financial Summary
Community Lending
Comunilife, Inc.
Bronx
$1,232,619 permanent loan
78 affordable/supportive units
Comunilife’s mission is to provide vulnerable communities with housing and culturally sensitive supportive services. We committed a pre-construction loan to get this project started, and played a second role in the project, after construction, by providing the completed project a permanent loan. Nonprofit efforts to build, sustain, and support strong communities where people of all incomes can achieve their full potential strongly aligns with the mission of Leviticus.
Center for Family Life, Sunset Park
Brooklyn
$3,000,000 mini-permanent loan
The Center for Family Life of Sunset Park (CFL) was established in 1978 by two Sisters of the Good Shepherd. Our loan will allow CFL to continue as a stabilizing force in a neighborhood plagued by persistent poverty. CFL provides integrated social and human services that promote the development of families and children and increases the quality of life for neighborhood residents.
The Doe Fund
Bronx
$5,250,000 acquisition/predevelopment loan
96 affordable/supportive units
The Doe Fund (TDF) is a developer and service provider for homeless persons, with a focus on people returning from prison. Our loan refinanced an existing $4.0 million acquisition loan and $1.0 million predevelopment loan for The Casanova, a property at 1220 Spofford Avenue. The Casanova will include 35 units for persons living with HIV/AIDS and 23 units for chronically homeless individuals. The remaining 37 units will be reserved for seniors 62 and older.
Women In Need
Bronx
$500,000 predevelopment loan
318 transitional, supportive and affordable units
Since they opened their first shelter in 1983, WIN (Women in Need) has been offering transitional shelter and supportive housing for families experiencing homelessness and outpatient substance abuse treatment specifically for women. The Project will demolish an obsolete 72,000 square foot city-owned homeless shelter on the site and create a new facility to help women and children rebuild their lives and break the cycle of homelessness.
The Beacon Center’s residential building will be constructed at the back of the existing East Harlem Multi-Service Center, which will be rehabilitated and expanded.
TCB – The Beacon
Harlem
$1,924,248 predevelopment loan
264 affordable units
TCB (The Community Builders) was established in 1964 to build and sustain strong communities where people of all incomes can achieve their full potential. This project, dubbed The Beacon, will preserve the historic Public School 80 building for its existing tenants, and create a new 100% affordable 250-unit residential building with 30% of homes set aside for households that have experienced homelessness.
Glens Falls Area Habitat for Humanity
Warren County, NY
$758,678 acquisition/rehab/mini-perm loan
10 affordable units
Glens Falls, population 14,722, sits mid-way between New York City and Montreal. The local Habitat for Humanity saw that rehabbing single-family homes wasn’t doing enough to address the region’s need for affordable housing. They assembled funding from a variety of sources to purchase a multi-family home, including a loan from the Leviticus Fund. Two existing five-unit buildings will be renovated to create 10 units of much-needed affordable rental housing in the community.
Evergreen Village CoOperative, LLC
Mt. Bethel, PA
$2,197,913 ($2,200,000 mini-perm loan participation)
158 affordable homes
Evergreen Village is a 158-site manufactured home community set on almost 80 acres, built in the early 1980s and managed by the same family for 40 years. Ninety-three percent (93%) of tenants are over the age of 55, 74% are over 62 and 71% are low-income. When the owners wished to retire, they agreed to work with ROC (Resident Ownership Capital USA, LLC) to allow tenants to form a co-operative and preserve their naturally occurring retirement community.

In October, the entire Leviticus team assembled at our headquarters in Tarrytown – the first time we’ve all been in the office together since the pandemic! Following a delicious lunch, we wrapped up our work and headed to the Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) Conference in New York City.
After two years of virtual convenings, the enthusiasm for learning, sharing and networking was palpable. The theme of the conference – Invest in Change – was more than a theme. It was a call to action. It defines the work we and other Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) do every day to provide economic opportunity for all.
When you make a gift to Leviticus in any amount, you’re investing in change.
We thank you for your support.
