FUNDING TYPE

CDFI, Loan

CAN YOU GET THIS?

This is available to homeowners and small businesses in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arizona.

SELF offers unsecured loans for energy, solar, storm, sewer, and home improvement projects. Approval is based on ability to repay, not credit score, and there are no minimum income limits.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis with no stated cap on approvals, making this more accessible than competitive grant programs.

As a CDFI with a mission-driven lending model and no credit score floor, SELF is designed to approve applicants who may be turned away by traditional lenders. Odds depend on your ability to demonstrate repayment capacity.

WHAT IT TAKES

Pre-qualify online by answering questions about yourself and your project — 15–30 minutes
Select a pre-approved contractor from SELF's vetted network — 1–5 days
Project begins and SELF monitors progress; payment released after verified completion — Varies by project

WORTH KNOWING

SELF pre-screens contractors and coordinates projects from start to finish, so you don't need to source your own contractor — this reduces risk and speeds up the process.
