In recent years, the Sacramento Valley has flourished as it has grown from its agricultural and government based roots to a thriving, diversified economy. Yet as new residents and businesses have discovered the advantages and high-quality of life in the Sacramento region, the very quality of life they have sought is being threatened by the pressures of growth. Air quality, traffic congestion, and loss of open space has resulted. Additionally, while newer, suburban neighborhoods of the region have thrived in the recent economic boom, older, urban neighborhoods have been left behind.

In 2000, Nehemiah Community Reinvestment Fund™ began developing the Sacramento Valley Fund to combat the unintended effects of growth and to improve the economic competitiveness and overall quality of life in targeted communities within the Sacramento Valley. The goal of the Fund is to make millions of dollars of real estate investment in traditionally overlooked communities. The Fund will invest in the development of high quality, urban scale, mixed use and mixed-income housing, commercial, and industrial projects.

Areas targeted for investment are the low and moderate income neighborhoods of the counties of the region - El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba-as well as the cities Lodi, Stockton and Modesto. As the Sacramento Valley Fund begins investing dollars in designated developments, renovations, and leasing upgrades, market value and economic activity within these targeted neighborhoods is expected to increase dramatically.

Pacific Coast Capital Partners LLC has been selected to manage the Fund. Our goal is to provide "double" bottom line results--to promote economic prosperity while generating favorable rates of financial return for the Fund investors.
