Contact ROC USA directly to discuss your community's situation and financing needs — 1-2 weeks
Work with ROC USA's integrated financing and technical assistance team through their purchase process — Several months
WORTH KNOWING
ROC USA pairs financing with technical assistance and training, so applicants who engage with their full support network — not just the capital side — are better positioned to succeed.
