Union Bank's Community Development Finance (CDF) division today unveiled
a new Web site and video specifically designed to communicate with
partners and showcase the impact of its work in local communities where
Union Bank conducts business. This online resource provides direct
access to valuable information about the bank's ongoing affordable
housing endeavors. Located at www.unionbankcdf.com,
it features information about the company's CDF products, an interactive
map of CDF-financed projects, staff profiles, video content, and links
to recent media clips, press releases and conference presentations.
"Since Union Bank and its CDF division continue to grow despite the
challenging economic conditions, we took the initiative to create a site
for our partners while reaching out to the broader community of
non-profits or developers with a new online resource," said CDF Senior
Vice President Jim Mather. "As a leading affordable housing lender, we
believe that CDF's dedicated Web site leverages our expertise and
creates an efficient way to communicate about our products while
demonstrating the range of projects our group can support."
The site provides a wealth of targeted content, resources and features
for customers frequently seeking direction and guidance from their
trusted financial institution including:
Project Profiles -- Case studies and short video segments
illustrate recent affordable housing projects for a variety of low- to
moderate-income populations, including working families and
individuals with special needs, such as homeless persons, families and
seniors. Video segments also include interviews with bank executives
and testimonials from partners and property residents.
Product Types -- Presents an introduction to Union Bank's
products, including construction loans, equity investments and
permanent loans, as well as CDF's consultation services offered to
developers of affordable housing and green development projects.
Conference Presentations -- Provides online access to
presentations made by Union Bank's CDF staff at industry conferences,
such as the recent Green Housing Conference, as well as presentations
from other individuals and businesses at bank-hosted events.
Other Resources -- Background information on the Community
Development Finance division, its key executives, upcoming CDF events,
news, media coverage, and archived editions of Union Bank's affordable
housing quarterly newsletter.
"This site is a testament to the high quality housing that can be
created by robust partnerships between public and private entities,"
said Mather. "We hope it encourages the public to think differently
about affordable housing and prompts developers to contact us about
innovative ways to create and finance homes that are accessible to
everyone."
