The Fund provides loans to Community Land Trusts and other community groups that are undertaking affordable housing projects. The Fund enables community land trusts to increase the supply of affordable rented housing, meaning that those in need of affordable accommodation can remain in their communities.

Community groups often struggle to access mainstream finance due to a lack of track record or the availability of assets to act as security.
