“I’m thrilled to join the vibrant and growing EIC team. EIC is quickly emerging as one of the leading impact investment and asset management firms focused on creating wealth building opportunities for moderate- and workforce-income households while also building and investing in community revitalization projects designed to support low- and moderate-income communities. EIC’s strategic vision of partnering with nonprofit organizations and government agencies to develop projects and programs that create wealth building opportunities for working families while delivering double and triple bottom line returns is a real niche in the impact investment space. I’m excited to help EIC and its partners deepen and growth their impact.”
Mr. Crum has spent more than a decade with New Jersey Community Capital as the firm’s Chief Investment Officer and head of its real estate affiliate, Community Asset Preservation Corporation (CAPC). During his tenure, NJCC built/renovated nearly 2,500 housing units in multiple states. Mr. Crum also worked for Community Development Trust helping this affordable housing REIT acquire the Essential Housing portfolio in partnership with Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group and The Michaels Organization. The $1.2 billion transaction preserved more than 10,000 affordable housing units across 90 communities. His other experience includes working for nonprofit housing development corporations and a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit developer. In total, Mr. Crum has worked on projects with a total capitalization of approximately $3 billion.
