Community Ventures

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. 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.
