Supporting Our Small Businesses

Small businesses are an integral part of the communities we serve. We recognize this importance and provide solutions by offering a variety of lending options, allowing these businesses to continue growing and fostering the economic development of our communities.

Our community development lending is strong and growing. Given that First Foundation Bank is primarily a multi-family residential lender, the majority of these loans focus on affordable housing; along with loans that promote economic development, provide community services targeted to low- or moderate-income (LMI) individuals, and revitalize and stabilize underserved neighborhoods.
