Locus is home to both a CDFI bank and a CDFI loan fund, which means we focus our lending activity in places where the capital system is not working for everyone. We combine the discipline of a regulated financial institution with the flexibility of a mission‑driven lender, allowing us to design and deploy financing solutions tailored to complex community challenges.
Whether it’s a housing development, solar array, or neighborhood market, the projects we finance are making a real impact in communities where people live, work, and raise their families.

It Takes More than Capital
Prioritizing relationships with community partners and stakeholders is key to gaining a full understanding of their needs and delivering impactful results. That means our ecosystem coordination team starts with a discovery process; we lead with a conversation and let community visions guide our next steps.
In addition to our consultative work on the ground, our Impact Investment Services team partners with embedded, mission-driven community organizations to design and manage credit enhancement funds that unlock high-impact capital.
