Revolving Loan Fund Benefits
The Revolving Loan Fund for Affordable Housing facilitates affordable housing projects that otherwise might not be initiated.
​
Projects also benefit from savings by lowering the cost of interim and construction financing.
​
Additional benefits of the Revolving Loan Fund include:
​
-
Funds That Revolve: HTF accesses capital that is not available to individual housing sponsors. The fund provides needed seed capital that recycles to financially assist more projects.
-
Technical Assistance: HTF can help community groups who wish to sponsor affordable housing by providing them technical assistance to evaluate their potential project.
-
Serving Multiple Needs: The Fund assists multiple housing sponsors that serve diverse community needs in both urban and rural areas of Santa Barbara County.
