Supporting a Core for Revived Communities In 1991, Self-Help began to develop and manage commercial real estate with a focus on community revitalization. Our development includes 1.3 million square feet of office, residential and retail space in 15 locations. Through these projects, we help create “living rooms” for the entire community to work, gather and live. Our work on historic buildings helps keep the heritage of downtown areas alive and supports urban renewal rather than urban removal. Building A Healthier and More Sustainable Food System Our food system lending addresses health, economic and social disparities across the country through targeted lending to food businesses and organizations that aim to improve our food system. Guided by principles of sustainability and social justice, we lend to help improve the health and well-being of our communities. Expanding Affordable Housing and Homeownership We have built or rehabilitated more than 200 affordable homes in North Carolina for low-income families. We've also built a 32-unit senior living facility and revived a suburban subdivision that was hit hard by the foreclosure crisis. We are rehabilitating a former textile mill, turning it into a major mixed-use development that will include 142 apartments. Learn More About Our WorkRead more about the areas we focus on.
