Awarding the loan is just the beginning of a longer process. In order to be successful, RLF staff must maintain regular communication with the borrower and provide ongoing loan servicing. Many RLFs have found success in building partnerships with professional lending institutions to manage their loan servicing while others prefer to maintain the servicing in-house. Speakers on this webinar included Mitchell Harrison with the U.S. Economic Development Administration, Harry Allen with CDFA, Amanda Ruark with Buffalo Trace Area Development District, and Amir Kirkwood with Amalgamated Bank.
