Communities can use Section 108 guaranteed loans to either finance specific projects or to launch loan funds to finance multiple projects over several years. Section 108's unique flexibility and range of applications makes it one of the most potent and important public investment tools that HUD offers to state and local governments.
It is often used to catalyze private economic activity in underserved areas in cities and counties across the nation or to fill a financing gap in an important community project.
The program's flexible repayment terms also make it ideal for layering with other sources of community and economic development financing including, but not limited to, New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC), Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), and Opportunity Zone equity investments.
