NEW
YORK, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Carver
Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CARV) ("Carver"), the holding company for
Carver Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), a certified Community
Development Financial Institution and a designated Minority
Depository Institution, is proud to announce the closing of a
$25 million revolving senior
unsecured term loan under the Community Decarbonization Fund with
NY Green Bank.
"Carver's collaboration with NY Green Bank enables us to
leverage critical funds needed to advance clean energy and build
electrification projects in communities that have historically
faced financial barriers," said Craig C.
MacKay, Interim President and CEO of Carver.
The loan facility will support the Bank in financing initiatives
that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy efficiency

MWBE contractors working on green energy projects, weatherization,
electrification, and green technology.
"NY Green Bank is proud to support Carver, whose commitment to
serving diverse middle-income neighborhoods is well aligned with
the energy benefit goals of the Community Decarbonization Fund,"
remarked David Davenport,
Managing Director at NY Green Bank. "By providing
mission-driven lenders like Carver with low-cost capital that
supports sustainable infrastructure, we aim to advance New York State's greenhouse gas reduction
goals."
Mr. MacKay added, "It is vital that we invest in
initiatives that aim to mitigate the impact of climate change and
contribute to a more sustainable future for the next generation of
New Yorkers. Our partnership with NY Green Bank is a notable step
toward achieving these goals. This $25
million in available funding in partnership with NY Green
Bank underscores our commitments to environmental stewardship by
strengthening our ability to foster long-term economic growth,
cleaner air, and resiliency in the diverse, lower- and
middle-income communities we have proudly served since 1948."
