CaSHRLF Overview
A NEW REVOLVING LOAN FUND PROGRAM
The California Student Housing Revolving Loan Fund (CaSHRLF) provides zero-interest loans for affordable student housing and affordable faculty and staff housing. It was established in 2022 under AB 190, the 2022 Education Budget Trailer Bill, and funded with an initial appropriation of $200 million for fiscal year 2023-24 through SB 117, the 2023 Education Budget Trailer Bill. An additional $300 million is intended for appropriation annually through fiscal year 2028-29, which will bring the final total of the fund to $1.7 billion. CSFA is designated to administer the CaSHRLF program for Community College Applicants. The first application forms for projects seeking CaSHRLF assistance will be available no later than April 1, 2024, and initial preliminary applications will be due no later than July 1, 2024 (with subsequent application rounds made available as needed). Structural options are under consideration, such as bridge loans, gap financing and full project financing. Assistance will be available to SB 169 recipients, as well as other CCCs.
