Loans and eligibility

Not yet verified

We read 12 pages of this lender's website on 3 Nov 2026 but could not confirm any loan product, loan size or service area there, so we list nothing rather than guess. That doesn't mean it lacks them. Check www.nhtinc.org/ice.php 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.

  1. What kinds of loans do you make, and which one fits what I need?
    We have no loan details from their website.
  2. Do you lend where I live, or where my business is?
  3. What are the smallest and the largest loans you make?
  4. What interest rate and fees should I expect? For a personal, car or home loan, ask for the APR.
  5. 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

CDFI Fund database, 3 Nov 2026

$1.8 million in 3 awards from the U.S. Treasury's CDFI Fund, 1997–2000 (CDFI Program, Financial Assistance; CDFI Program, Technical Assistance).

Round yearProgramAmount
2000CDFI Program, Technical Assistance$95,000
1999CDFI Program, Financial Assistance$450,000
1997CDFI Program, Financial Assistance$1,221,100

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.

Source: CDFI Fund Searchable Awards Database, all 12,628 award records (1996–2025), read 3 Nov 2026. Years are the award round as the database lists it. Matched to the official CDFI list by exact name and state; see the method on the About page.

“Larger than X%” = the share of the peer group with a smaller value. Ranks count from the largest. Peer groups use the lender's home state when it has at least 5 peers, otherwise the whole country. Full definitions: methodology.

For comparison, not an offer and not a rating. Past records show what this lender did, not what you would be offered. Peer groups and sources: methodology. Form 990 figures: IRS annual extracts (see the Form 990 section).
