Who We Are

CORE Community Partners is a non-profit, mission-driven organization, with a focus on assisting communities and partners by providing affordable and flexible capital in the form of cost-effective lending, investing, consulting, and other financial services. CORE’s mission is to support the development and redevelopment of affordable housing and related community economic development throughout the state of Michigan and beyond.

Along with the services we offer, CORE is committed to building partnerships and working with other financial organizations in any way necessary. We believe these relationships will help put a strong emphasis on creating outcomes to provide opportunities that may not currently exist for individuals and families, thereby increasing the quality of life within the communities that we and our partners are able to assist.

CORE leverages the extensive experience and expertise it has to work alongside others to enhance affordable housing and community development activities they may be considering and are ready to assist in making a difference in your community.
