6. OUR PORTFOLIO A SNAPSHOT OF OUR INVESTMENTS
Our investees cover a broad geography, some operating at a very local level, and others with a national reach.
Our investments are also spread over a range of social outcomes areas.
CIF - The organisations we’ve invested in provide essential support and services to improve the well being of local residents. They develop the local economy, and they create positive social change for individuals in the community. CIF provides long-term, flexible loans in amounts that range from £250,000 to £2m. To date, CIF has made 15 investments and committed £13.6m
TSIF - Offers a longer investment period, more flexible investment and repayment options, greater risk sharing and more dedicated support and guidance for investees from the start to the end of the investment journey. The fund offers loans from £250,000 to £3m to high impact social ventures in the UK, and has committed £14.5m to 11 investments.

10. HOW IT WORKS

11. HOW WE CAN SUPPORT YOU
SASC works closely with organisations to provide an opportunity to acquire properties fit for purpose for the charities beneficiaries.
Typically, this structure of finance has been most appropriate where:
Local properties are available at appropriate prices
An ability and resource to undertake property purchases over c. 18mths, and refurbishments
Evidence of positive and collaborative relationships with local authorities, referral partners or commissioners
Any potential void risks can be mitigated and managed
Flexibility from a charity or social enterprise to explore the best lending structure

12. HULL WOMENS NETWORK (HWN)
When SASC met HWN, the charity had a portfolio of 105 properties but a waiting list of 230 women.
So with a need to meet growing demand, HWN decided to take on social investment.
INVESTMENT SIZE / £2,000,000
FUND / COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND
The charity approached SASC, who has a track record of providing social investment to organisations in Hull.
The £2m loan will allow HWN to purchase up to 35 properties to house vulnerable women and their children.
Hull Women’s Network, based at the award-winning Preston Road Women’s Centre, provide safe homes for vulnerable women and their children in Hull.
SASC provided a £2m loan to the organisation to enable them to expand their services and better support the demand for their services in the Hull area.
Set up in 2004, Hull Women’s Network is part of a group of Hull-based organisations run by women and supporting women. Its services and activities include specialist domestic violence support, nursery provision, sexual health information and advice, training and volunteering opportunities, as well as access to safe and affordable housing across Hull.
SASC has shared the investment risk with HWN and provided the option to refinance the 10yr loan based on the current purchase price of properties.
“With access to safe, high quality housing, HWN helps women to break free from the abuse they suffer first time and this investment from SASC will greatly help our mission.”

13. FUND / THIRD SECTOR INVESTMENT FUND
HOMES FOR GOOD
Founded in 2013 by Susan Aktemel, Homes for Good is a social enterprise that meets the housing needs of vulnerable and marginalised individuals.
INVESTMENT SIZE / £2.85M
FUND / THIRD SECTOR INVESTMENT FUND
SASC provided a £2.85m loan to a new subsidiary, Homes for Good Glasgow, using our innovative property finance structure. This will support the social enterprise to grow the portfolio of properties, creating a minimum of 50 homes.
Homes for Good was created to provide quality homes within the private rented sector, with a focus on housing supply for people on low incomes. Susan recognised the need for an alternative approach to growing housing demand with the importance of access to appropriately located, high quality housing to enable individuals to address wider challenges such as mental health and recovery from drug and/or alcohol dependency. To support sustainable tenancies the organisation also provides dedicated tenancy support services, for those requiring it.
SASC provided a £2.85m loan to the organisation to enable them to expand their accommodation services and better support the demand for social housing in Glasgow. The social investment structure was designed to address the specific needs of impactful, accommodation-based charities and social enterprises and to offer an alternative to the range of financing options currently available.
“We are really delighted to welcome SASC as our investor in the next stage of growth within Homes for Good. We plan to acquire a further 50 homes with this significant investment, which will help us work towards our goal of owning 500 homes for vulnerable people on low income by 2022.”
