Our History

With the support of the banking community, and through strong relationships with developers, Centrant Community Capital has grown from a single-state affordable housing lender to a trusted regional financing resource.  As our footprint has expanded, our identity has evolved.  However, our commitment to affordable housing, our members and our borrowers remains as true today as it was in 1990.
