We made a commitment to invest $75 million in the National Affordable Housing Trust (NAHT) “Black Developers Initiative,” a fund that will finance affordable housing projects sponsored by primarily Black women-led developers. Through the NAHT “Black Developers Initiative,” Goldman Sachs is providing capital to Laurel Street, a Black woman-led real estate firm, to develop South Meadows, a mixed-use project in Rome, Georgia. South Meadows is a 100% affordable residential development with 80 multifamily units, all of which will be affordable to households earning between 30% and 80% of the area’s median income. South Meadows is adjacent to a community farm providing healthy food in a low-income neighborhood and features a stand-alone learning facility. The housing, educational, and health programming are operated in partnership with the South Rome Alliance, a local nonprofit organization.

Chime’s mission is to create jobs with family- sustaining wages and economic opportunity for people in underserved communities while helping its clients deliver high-value customer care solutions.
