Shorebank
began serving our Cleveland neighbors in 1994 with an integrated
approach to real estate lending, small business finance, and
entrepreneurial services.
Over
the past seven years, we have provided a wide array of banking services
for more than 500 customers and invested $75 million in our city's
neighborhoods and entrepreneurs. The $46 million invested in deposits
has enabled borrowers to produce over 1400 units of new or rehabilitated
urban housing which has made home ownership possible for hundreds
of low- and middle-income Clevelanders. Ninety percent of our real
estate loans have been made in our eight priority neighborhoods
located in the upper east side of Cleveland.
We
have further demonstrated our commitment to our neighbors by investing
more than $3 million in higher-risk loans for locally-owned and
operated businesses of all types and sizes. Three-fourths of our
business loans have been made to companies and entrepreneurs in
Cleveland.
Shorebank
Enterprise Group has helped dozens of businesses design and
implement realistic business plans, market their products
and services to new customers, increase sales revenue, and
find experienced partners who can help turn their business
plans into profits that can be reinvested in our city. These
local businesses are now becoming employers in our neighborhoods.
