Since 1990, Community Investment Corporation of the Carolinas (CICCAR) has provided over $240 million in permanent debt financing for nearly 300 workforce apartment communities, providing housing for over 14,500 households located throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. CICCAR is an affordable housing loan consortium with over 100 bank members. Membership is open to all financial institutions in the Southeast. Our developments house families, seniors and persons with disabilities that earn no more than 60% of the area median income and our residents pay no more than 30% of their income for housing. Most of the CICCAR communities have received an allocation of Federal low income housing tax credits and also have some form of subordinate debt. The subordinate debt typically comes from the City, County, Federal HOME funds, AHP Grants, CDBG funds or State Housing Trust funds. Our lending program is an excellent example of how public and private partnerships can be forged to achieve a common goal of helping those less fortunate.
