Since 1982, Enterprise has worked with partners in communities nationwide. As one of America’s original social enterprises, we bring together the people and resources to create affordable housing and to revitalize neighborhoods. ECI finances, develops and acquires housing and provides other community development initiatives in underserved neighborhoods throughout the U.S. ECI’s primary business is syndicating low-income tax credits. Our investment and lending products include low-income housing tax credits, historic tax credits and long-term permanent mortgages on multifamily and commercial properties.
