Loans and eligibility
Not yet verifiedWe could not read the website listed for this lender on 3 Nov 2026, so we can't list its loan products, sizes or service area yet. That doesn't mean it lacks them. Check www.actshousing.org or contact the lender directly.
Questions to ask when you contact them
We have no details from their website yet, so these are the basics to ask any lender. Something missing here does not mean they don't offer it: ask.
- What kinds of loans do you make, and which one fits what I need?
We have no loan details from their website. - Do you lend where I live, or where my business is?
- What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
- What interest rate and fees should I expect? For a personal, car or home loan, ask for the APR.
- What documents will you need from me, and how long does a decision usually take?
Write down the answers, who you spoke to and the date, and ask for the terms in writing before you sign.
CDFI Fund awards

|---|---|---|
| 2022 | CDFI Program, Technical Assistance | $125,000 |
| 2021 | CDFI Program, Technical Assistance | $125,000 |
These are awards and investments made to the institution itself to build its capital and capacity. They are not loans to borrowers, and an award does not mean the lender has money available for a particular loan today.
