Small Dollar Loan Program

Small dollar loan program

The Community Loan Center of Greater Houston (CLCGH) was created in 2014 by Neighborhood Recovery Community Development Corporation. CLCGH is licensed by the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commission.

CLCGH is a part of a Statewide coalition of Community Loan Centers working to provide low interest and low fee consumer loans as an alternative to predatory loan products and practices.

Our Commitment

NRCDC created CLCGH as part of its outreach and programming to revitalize communities and to assist individuals and families to build assets and have a better quality of life. Actual events that have happened in the communities that we serve have led us to provide this consumer loan product.

Mission

The mission of the Community Loan Center of Greater Houston is to provide low interest low fee consumer loans through a consortia of employers, and as an alternative to predatory loan products and practices.

Our Solution
