Community Ventures strengthens communities by helping people achieve their dreams of greater economic opportunity. Why To build strong communities, people need ties that bind them to their neighborhoods and hope for a better future. Regardless of race, income, or social status, we all need someone to believe in us and our dreams. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals who lack access to opportunities. Home and business owners are at the heart of strong communities, so Community Ventures empowers individuals to achieve those dreams. What Community Ventures helps people own homes and start businesses because we believe in people’s dreams. From affordable financing to education, to neighborhood revitalization, our areas of focus offer the opportunity to dramatically improve the quality of life for people across Kentucky. Founded in 1982, Community Ventures has evolved in capacity and knowledge, but our mission has stayed the same—to strengthen our communities by empowering individuals. We are focused on the areas of greatest need, where we can make the most impact. This is why we offer a range of products and services from financial counseling to large scale neighborhood revitalization. Vibrant communities start with people, so Community Ventures gives our clients knowledge and skills they can use for the rest of their lives, and even pass down to later generations.
