Institute for Community Economics
 The Institute for Community Economics is a federally certified Community Development Financial Institution that makes loans for permanently affordable housing across the United States.
ICE is the
originator of the community land trust (CLT), a housing model that
develops equity for homeowners while preserving public subsidy and
affordability in perpetuity.
ICE’s revolving loan fund has
been providing financing for over 30 years. Since its creation in 1979,
ICE has loaned $44 million, representing more than 445 loans to
community organizations in 30 states and facilitating the development
of more than 4,500 housing units.
ICE’s principal lending goes
to community land trusts, limited equity cooperatives, and
community-based nonprofit organizations creating housing that is
permanently affordable to people with lower incomes.
