West Sacramento, Calif. — In an ongoing effort to serve communities and nonprofit affordable housing developers, effective immediately, RCAC’s Loan Fund has reduced short-term interest rates by 0.5 percent. New rates are 5 percent for a two-year loan, 5.25 percent for a three-year loan. In addition, for all new loans committed before Jan. 31, 2015, we will further reduce the rate by another 0.25 percent for the first 18 months of the loan.
“RCAC has been very fortunate in securing more low cost capital and we want to pass along that benefit to our rural clients and communities,” said Michael Carroll, director, lending and housing.
