Sources of Lending
Capital
The San Luis Obispo County Housing Trust
Fund has raised more than $6 million in
mostly private
lending capital from a dozen different sources to finance affordable housing
projects in San Luis Obispo County.
These funds initially came from local banks. Mission Community
Bank and Rabobank each provided $1 million Equity Equivalent or EQ2 investments to
the HTF. Rabobank
also provided $100,000 under California's CDFI Tax Credit Program. This
investment has a 0% interest rate for five years and provided a $20,000
tax credit for the bank (click here for information).
We have also received
socially responsible investments from Catholic Healthcare West and a
number of religious communities. In addition, the Sachs Foundation provided a Program
Related Investment (PRI).
While our lending capital is
initially all borrowed, we have now received
more than
$2.7 million grants and contributions to our revolving loan funds.
We received a $1.5 million grant form the State of California in 2010. The CDFI Fund of the US
Treasury awarded $500,000 to us in both 2009 and 2010. The California Association of Realtors
has provided $125,000 in grants from its Housing Affordability Fund.
In addition, more than 300 individuals, organizations and
firms have contributed nearly $80,000 to the George Moylan
Affordable Housing Fund. Click here to learn more about the Moylan Fund.

grants - are summarized in the
