Gary Dunn

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Clearinghouse CDFI

Financial lending for projects with measurable impacts.

Twenty years ago, when Clearinghouse CDFI was just an idea, we could never have imagined what we would accomplish over the next two decades. When faced with challenges, we did not quit. We reminded ourselves instead that hard work, collaboration, and the dedication of people can make almost anything possible. Together, we achieve our goals to build healthy communities, provide innovative solutions, create financial strength, and fund dreams for tomorrow.

Building healthy communities

Building healthy communities requires hard work, patience, and the dedication of our staff and borrowers. Since inception, we have funded over $1.4 billion to 1,781 community projects. These projects have benefited over 600 separate underserved communities throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Native American Reservations.

Clearinghouse CDFI helps borrowers achieve success in low-income communities where credit is difficult to obtain. Together, we have cumulatively impacted over 1.5 million people and rehabilitated over 15 million square feet of blighted properties. Over 7,000 low-income residents now reside in safe and affordable homes, and over 16,000 individuals now hold permanent, living-wage jobs as a result of our lending.

Providing innovative solutions

Clearinghouse CDFI has always been innovative and creative. We were incorporated as a for-profit CDFI and were the first non-depository CDFI to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank System. We were also the first CDFI in the nation to receive an S&P rating, and the first non-native CDFI to commit significant resources to Indian Country credit needs. As we have grown over the last two decades, so too has our capacity to meet the various credit needs of our communities.

Clearinghouse CDFI has deployed $118 million through the Bond Guarantee Program and been awarded $538 million of NMTC Allocation for disadvantaged communities. By combining unique funding sources and working to thoroughly understand our borrower’s needs, we have developed a lending strategy that offers sustainable and impactful solutions.

Creating financial strength

Financial strength and self-sufficiency has always been a cornerstone of our corporate culture. Our lending is structured to ensure financial strength and growth for our borrowers as well.  Total lending volume for the year was a record high level, with $146 million in new loans originated.  2016 marked our 17th consecutive year of profitability.  For the 12th consecutive year we issued a dividend on our Class A shares. Our total asset size increased by 34% to approximately $364 million.

In 2016, new and existing shareholders invested an additional $4.8 million in new Class A equity shares, the most in any year of our existence. This investment grew Stockholder’s Equity by 14.5% – a remarkable achievement providing us with needed capital for our future growth. Our ability to raise new equity is a testament to our vision and a demonstration of shareholder trust in our financial strength and future growth.

Funding dreams for tomorrow

Our mission and vision have guided us unfailingly over the past 20 years. As we continue to provide innovative solutions and create financial strength for our borrowers, we remain proudly committed to building healthy, sustainable communities. Thanks to your invaluable partnership and support, along with the hard work and dedication of our staff, we have achieved far more than we could have ever imagined. Clearinghouse CDFI now has two decades of measurable impact to show for all of our efforts. Today, we proudly reflect upon our past 20 years of success, and we look forward to continuing our tradition of impactful lending.

– Memorable Moments –

My favorite Clearinghouse CDFI moment was learning that we had successfully received a Wells Fargo NEXT Award in 2012. The excitement that surrounded our organization at the OFN annual conference was an amazing introduction to this industry.

– Brian Maddox

My favorite memory is jumping on a plane and bringing our board of directors to Las Vegas for the grand opening of our Nevada operation. We enjoyed a celebration with many local community partners and supporters, all excited to have Clearinghouse CDFI assist in bringing sustainability to their community. Did I mention this event was held in JULY? Can everyone say “HOT”!

– Susan Montoya

My favorite Clearinghouse CDFI moment was karaoke at my very first company holiday party in 2016…Clearinghouse got talent!

– Amy Maali

My favorite Clearinghouse CDFI memory was the End of Summer Beach Party last September. Connecting with my coworkers while playing beach games and eating food was great.

– Ricky Ha

I have many favorite Clearinghouse CDFI memories, but last year’s Annual Meeting really stands out. The 1920s theme, costumes, and the Pomona Fox Theater venue all combined to truly make it a fantastic day for Clearinghouse CDFI!

– Fathia Macauley

I’ll always remember the road trip up the 405 early in the morning with 2 other Affordable Housing Clearinghouse board members to determine if it made any sense for us to consider an application for CDFI status...

– Elsa Monte

One thoughtful coworker asked if I was okay one day. I told her I had a family member get into a rough accident, and she took the time to comfort me. Knowing I love seafood, she then surprised me with salmon and halibut fresh from her trip to the Northwest; her kindness will be forever etched in my memory of Clearinghouse CDFI.

– Avery Ebron

My favorite Clearinghouse CDFI memory is when we volunteered for South County Outreach. It was great to see everyone having fun while working together to organize the food pantry that feeds over 9,000 families.

– Mai Nguyen Ha

My favorite Clearinghouse CDFI memory is our 2016 holiday party. Watching everyone laughing, singing, and enjoying each other’s company was a blast. I feel so fortunate to be a part of it all!

Core Lending Volume

Graph

Lending is highly personal to the staff of Clearinghouse CDFI. We know that our work is changing lives and transforming communities otherwise largely absent of investment. Each loan request is reviewed by our team of professionals who work tirelessly to structure every loan for success.

As we have expanded into new territories over the past year, we find an even greater demand for Clearinghouse CDFI lending. Thanks to the continued support of our community partners and institutional investors, Clearinghouse CDFI continues to successfully meet this demand head on.

The accelerated growth of Clearinghouse CDFI in the last two years has propelled us to new heights that we only dreamed of achieving 20 years ago. Our increase in capital raising has allowed for more aggressive funding targets and market expansion. We remain true to our roots of funding unserved markets and constantly push for innovative products that are not found elsewhere in the market. I look forward to seeing where the next 20 years leads us.
