Loan Products
SHI loan products are designed to meet the specific needs of low-to-moderate income families working to strengthen their financial security and ultimately achieve homeownership. Consumer small dollar loans allow for credit repair, refinancing high interest debt and addressing financial emergencies such as car or home repairs. These loans serve as an alternative to high-cost payday and online lenders. Oftentimes this will allow a client to qualify for a mortgage payment lower than their rent, improving their financial stability. Down payment assistance and rental assistance loans help lower income families obtain affordable housing solutions, providing the security they need to improve their overall economic and social situations.
