FUNDING TYPE

CAN YOU GET THIS?

This is for organizations developing affordable housing in rural Washington, not general small businesses.

ORFH works with public housing authorities, nonprofits, and similar entities to develop affordable multi-family housing for low-income rural residents. If you are a for-profit startup or small business outside of rural housing development, this is not a fit.

YOUR REAL ODDS

No public data on number of loans made or selectivity is available.

ORFH is a niche CDFI with a specific geographic and mission focus. If your project aligns with rural or farmworker affordable housing in Washington state, contacting them directly is the clearest path to understanding fit.

Contact ORFH by phone (509-248-7014) or their website form to discuss your project — 1-2 days
Engage with their technical assistance or loan process as directed by staff — Varies

WORTH KNOWING

ORFH explicitly offers rural technical assistance alongside financing — reaching out for TA first may be a useful entry point before pursuing a loan.
