Partners for the Common Good

Partners for the Common Good teamed up with 22Beacon, formerly known as Charter Schools Development Corporation (CSDC) to help expand opportunities for students and adults with autism in Phoenix, AZ. Through a $1.1 million participation in a $2.2 million loan, we’re supporting the purchase and renovation of a 7,400-square-foot facility for Arizona Autism, a charter school dedicated to serving this community. The space will also be shared with Essential Piece Enterprises (EPE), which provides critical adult services like day treatment, employment support, and transition programs. Planned upgrades—including new HVAC systems, fresh paint, and improved flooring—will create a more welcoming and functional environment for all. This collaboration reflects our commitment to inclusive communities and expanded access to education.

Partners for the Common Good and Opportunity Finance Network(OFN) , through our joint EJP Fund, are collaborating with City First Enterprises on a $2.7 million loan to JAG Real Estate LLC.

This project funds the creation of a 3-story building with modern two- and three-bedroom apartments, all reserved for Section 8 Housing Voucher holders, ensuring that families earning 50% or less of the area’s median income (AMI) have access to quality, affordable housing.

Partners for the Common Good collaborated with Capital Impact Partners and joined forces to make a significant difference in Austin, Texas' Chestnut Neighborhood. Together, they provided $14 million in funding to the Chestnut Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation (CNRC), with Partners contributing $1.9 million to help bring this project to life. CNRC, a passionate volunteer-led nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing the area, will use the funding to purchase and develop The Ivory at the Chicon, a multifamily condo project. This initiative will bring 53 new homes to the area, including a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and three ground floor commercial spaces. The impact of this project is clear: 75% of these homes will be priced at 70% of the area median income, making it possible for more people to afford housing in the community they love. Thanks to the combined efforts of Partners and Capital Impact Partners, CNRC is gaining the financial support needed to keep affordability in this rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. #AffordableHousing #CommunityDevelopment #HousingForAll
