What is a revolving loan?
A funding model designed to keep giving
The “one-and-done” problem
Traditional housing funding is often one-time money which gets spent once then disappears.
That can make affordable housing an expensive investment, because it requires new money over and over again, creating a major strain on communities and investors while slowing development across the board.
Self-sustaining investments
The We Lift Catalyst Fund uses a revolving loan model. As loans are repaid, that money cycles back into the Fund to support the next project.
Repaid loans keep the Fund working, and new investments add to the Fund’s impact instead of having to replace what was spent.
This is how the We Lift Catalyst Fund turns one pool of money into an evergreen housing accelerator.
