TELACU - Building Communities with Partners Like You

About TELACU
Established in 1968, TELACU is the largest Community Development Corporation and one of the largest Hispanic businesses in the United States. Utilizing one of the most successful approaches to community and economic development, TELACU focuses its more than $550 million in assets on empowering the lives of individuals and families within the communities it serves. The TELACU Story
Real Estate Development
TELACU’s expression of empowerment begins with building communities. From the construction of senior and affordable workforce housing to the building of commercial and industrial centers, TELACU brings together the public and private sectors in developments that create jobs, attract businesses and provide quality homes.
- Commercial / Industrial Development
Construction & Construction Management
TELACU’s commitment to serving communities at the highest level means working side by side with people who will benefit from the creation of new community assets— schools, transportation projects, government installations, infrastructure and private sector facilities. TELACU’s construction-related companies are committed to transforming the physical landscape of the communities we serve.
Financial Services
TELACU empowers hardworking families and entrepreneurs in underserved communities by providing access to capital—the cornerstone of self-sufficiency. TELACU’s commitment to economic empowerment began with its establishment of Community Commerce Bank in 1976. TELACU’s other financial services companies provide additional means for people to finance their dreams.
Education Foundation
TELACU and partners like you make the greatest investment of all—an investment in the human capital that represents our future. Since 1983, the Foundation has been advancing communities through education. Each year we provide scholarships to hundreds of Latino college students in California, Illinois, Texas and New York. We also annually provide academic programs and guidance to 2,000 elementary, middle and high school students, nursing students and veterans.
