Boston MACDFI Awards for Boston Community Capital Inc.
NMTC (2009) - $85,000,000
Boston Community Capital, Inc. (BCC) will use its NMTC allocation to: (i) increase its current lending capacity and offer better rates and terms to borrowers; (ii) increase the volume of investments made in high-impact, primarily rural businesses; and (iii) grow new lines of business, including a residential foreclosure prevention and neighborhood stabilization program. BCC will focus in particular on projects that are likely to be located in rural areas, including forest products, renewable energy and consumer distribution businesses. The NMTC allocation will enable BCC to offer subordinated debt products with significantly reduced interest rates.
NMTC (2008) - $85,000,000
Boston Community Capital, Inc. (BCC) will use its NMTC allocation to make loans and investments in high-impact, primarily rural businesses, including renewable energy projects and manufacturing facilities. BCC intends to waive origination fees, offer subordinated debt products covering up to 95 percent of the value of the investment, and provide interest rates of up to 300 basis points below market.
NMTC (2006) - $60,000,000
BCC will use its NMTC allocation to provide loans to support businesses and real estate development in low-income communities. This award will enable BCC to provide more flexible terms to borrowers, such as below market interest rates, lower origination fees, higher loan-to-value ratios, and longer interest-only loan payment periods; and continue to expand its lending to underserved communities throughout its national service area. BCC will use this additional equity to create programs that will (1) pioneer the use of NMTC credits to finance small businesses by reducing transaction costs, and (2) create a secondary market in small business loans in highly distressed areas.

BCC will also use the equity generated by its NMTC allocation to secure financing to support another credit facility, separate and apart from its NMTC fund, to provide additional financing to low-income communities. BCC is hopeful that this approach will provide a new, nationally replicable, collabor
