Partners for the Common Good

At Partners for the Common Good, we know that winning takes strategy, teamwork, and a strong playbook—whether on the field or in community development. As we get ready for the Super Bowl, our team is sporting their favorite jerseys, but when it comes to strengthening local economies, we’re all playing for the same team.

No matter who takes home the trophy, we’ll keep backing the organizations and investors that help communities grow and thrive. Here’s to smart plays—on and off the field!

Partners for the Common Good and Opportunity Finance Network (OFN) , through our joint EJP Fund, are collaborating with City First Enterprises on a $2.7 million loan to JAG Real Estate LLC. This financing will support the development of a new 12-unit affordable housing project in the Deanwood neighborhood of Northeast Washington, DC, with City First Enterprises taking on half of the loan.

This project funds the creation of a 3-story building with modern two- and three-bedroom apartments, all reserved for Section 8 Housing Voucher holders, ensuring that families earning
50% or less of the area’s median income (AMI) have access to quality, affordable housing.

By supporting JAG Real Estate, a family-owned company founded in 2021, we are helping to make a meaningful impact in the Washington DC community by providing much-needed
affordable housing.
