Funding allows for growth and accessibility of affordable lending products
and services across Mississippi
​Renaissance Community Loan Fund, a statewide non-profit community lender, has been awarded $750,000 from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. The grant is part of the highly competitive 2020 CDFI Program, which was established to serve low-income communities across the country through financial and technical assistance.
 
RCLF, which provides tailored mortgage and business lending options, along with personalized financial counseling for all of its clients, will use the award to expand accessibility to its products and services across Mississippi. RCLF is the only Community Development Financial Institution located in Mississippi with 100% of its activities remaining in Mississippi. RCLF’s primary objective is to expand economic opportunity to all communities in Mississippi.
 
“The CDFI award will allow RCLF to continue our responsible and affordable lending in Mississippi,” said Kimberly LaRosa, president and CEO of Renaissance Community Loan Fund. “We are committed to the communities in which we live and serve, especially those areas in the state that are often underserved or not served.”

A Family With a "Strong" Goal

​When Wilbert Strong began the journey towards homeownership, he didn't realize it would take three years to see his dream come through. The team at RCLF worked with Strong and his family through every stage of the process, from financial counseling, underwriting, staying in close contact through the search for the perfect home and finding additional funding for which he could qualify.

Strong received a down-payment assistance grant, which he used to reduce the amount of his mortgage and his monthly payments. With the lower monthly payment, the Strongs were able to afford furniture for their home. “Being a homeowner is the best thing that happened to me,” said Strong. “I’m so happy, and so is my family.”
