About

Self-Help External is a family of nonprofit organizations that provides fair mortgages, SBA-guaranteed small-business loans, and financing for affordable housing, childcare, schools, faith-based and community real estate projects across North Carolina, California and other states. The organization also conducts research and advocacy to inform policies that lower poverty costs and promote homeownership, combining credit union services, a loan fund, and policy analysis to serve those outside the mainstream. Its integrated approach uniquely blends financial products with community development and evidence-based advocacy, creating sustainable economic opportunity for underserved populations. This combination of financial expertise and policy influence distinguishes Self-Help External as a leader in inclusive real estate and economic development.
