How Can We Help You Access Capital to Support the Revitalization of Local Communities?
Cherry Bekaert’s Strategic Financing Services team specializes in New Markets Tax Credits (NMTCs), Historic Tax Credits (HTCs) and numerous other local, state and federal credits and incentives.
We help our partners raise, deploy and manage capital in low-income communities across the country from rural non-metro census tracts to urban core historically disinvested neighborhoods. We work with borrowers, Community Development Entities (CDEs), lenders and investors to understand and simplify complicated tax credit and incentive financing structures; locate and secure the resources needed; and successfully navigate through the process to a financial closing. We help bridge the knowledge gap, serving as a guide, and close the financing gap bringing much needed revitalization, services, resources, and jobs into underserved communities.
