This program accomplishes this by lending for up to 50% of the total project costs, up to $20 million.
Senior, pari passu, and subordinate lien positions are available, subject to underwriting and community impact assessment. If you are interested but need assistance in obtaining a companion loan, our business development team offers to identify a potential lender from our small business lending resource network for applications that are otherwise eligible.
