The loans were made possible for the third year in a row because of a $1.5 million grant from the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions program.

Communicating Arts has made 19 Auto Bailout Loans totaling nearly $313,000.

One member who had been paying 20.95% for a car loan rate qualified for a refinanced loan at 3.25%. Another member cut a car loan rate by more than half to 11% from nearly 25%.
