SC H5039

South Carolina House Resolution honoring Nathaniel A. Barber for his leadership as former CEO of the South Carolina Community Loan Fund (SCCLF) and his dedication to community development statewide

Barber brought over 20 years of banking industry experience and made the first Community Reinvestment Act investment in SCCLF on behalf of South State Bank

In 2023, Barber's efforts helped SCCLF secure $50 million in New Markets Tax Credit allocation from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, making it one of only three South Carolina community development entities to receive this funding

As of January 5, 2026, SCCLF received $75 million in New Markets Tax Credit allocation—the largest funding award in the organization's history—attributed to Barber's dedicated efforts
