A Milestone for CFE's Growth

CFE has earned an investment-grade rating from Fitch. The rating affirms our financial strength and disciplined growth while positioning us to attract institutional capital, accelerate our growth, and expand our impact.

CFE Closes First Loan in Pennsylvania

We're expanding our lending footprint! Our first loan in Philadelphia, made alongside lending partners, supports the conversion of 24 rental units into deed-restricted affordable homes. This investment strengthens CFE's mission-driven lending presence across the Mid-Atlantic.

Preserving 66 Affordable Homes in Maryland

In Maryland, CFE provided financing to support the acquisition and renovation of a 66-unit multifamily property. This project will preserve affordable housing for households earning 80% of AMI or below, while helping improve the quality and long-term stability of the property.

Please join us in welcoming Lara Athena Escobillo to CFE as our new Senior Accountant. Athena brings four years of progressive accounting experience and will support CFE’s accounting operations. She was drawn to CFE by the opportunity to do meaningful work and contribute to our mission.


We’re excited to have Athena on the team!
