Place builds power.
We provide capital and advising that advance community ownership of community assets in California.
Who We Are
Community Vision partners with mission-driven organizations to secure the spaces that make California communities thrive. Through flexible financing and strategic advising, we help our clients purchase, preserve, and develop social purpose real estate—such as affordable housing, health clinics, and cultural centers.
By creating lasting community assets, we help communities build power through place—gaining the stability and agency needed to shape their future. To date, we’ve invested more than $616 million in financing, leveraged over $3.3 billion, and distributed more than $39 million in grants to advance community ownership of community assets across California.
