Capital Finance
To finance its initial purchase of the Coin Street area in 1984 Coin Street Community Builders borrowed approximately £1 million from the Greater London Enterprise Board and the Greater London Council. It has subsequently repaid these loans and financed its developments by borrowing from banks and the Nationwide Building Society. Loans and interest must be repaid out of commercial income.
Coin Street Secondary Housing Co-operative finances its housing developments using a mixture of Housing Corporation Grant and borrowing from Nationwide.
Grants towards specific capital projects have been received from the Governments single Regeneration Budget programme, the Children's Centre programme, the New Opportunities Fund and the London Development Agency.
