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 $3.3 million grants and contributions to our revolving loan funds.  We have received three grants totaling $1.6 million from the CDFI Fund of the US Treasury and a $1.5 million grant from the State of California.  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 $80,000 to the George Moylan Affordable Housing Fund.  Click here to learn more about the Moylan Fund.
