At Expansive State Street in downtown Albany, we’re proud to support businesses that are making an impact in their industries and communities. One such business is High Impact Financial Analysis. This consultancy provides high-level, financial services to benefit mission-driven lenders and investors and the at-risk communities they serve. Through their work, High Impact is strengthening communities across the country.
High Impact Financial Analysis was founded after Peter saw a gap in the community development financial institution (CDFI) sector. “The CDFI sector had grown a lot over the past 10 years, but the service industry around it didn’t keep up,” he says. “I saw an opportunity to create a consultancy that could help spread best practices and give growing CDFIs the support they needed to grow sustainably.”
High Impact Financial Analysis helps lenders and investors fund projects that support communities. They focus on balancing risk and mission, ensuring that investments can make the most positive impact. Their work helps fund projects that traditional banks often overlook.
Their efforts are vital to the community development financial institution (CDFI) sector, helping underfunded communities access the resources they need.
High Impact Financial Analysis chose Expansive State Street in Albany for its location and flexible office spaces.

The space offers the collaboration and support we need… The combination of affordable offices and high-quality amenities has helped High Impact’s team grow and succeed.”

High Impact is currently working on a new project with a national community development-focused investor that focuses on affordable home ownership. “[December 2024], they’ll launch a new financial product we helped design,” says Peter. “This initiative will help smaller nonprofit housing developers compete to acquire land and build new homes faster, tackling the affordable housing crisis.”
