Helping a Single Parent

Clean Water Loan

Community Climate Adaptation

Low-income homeowner assisted
$141,000 Locally-owned real estate assets improved
130,000 Gallons of wastewater treated annually

When Terry Fischer’s toilet stopped flushing, she wasn’t sure what to do. Luckily, Hercules Hubbell from All County Operations did. They tried a few different things to get the septic working properly before it became clear that the system and drain field needed to be replaced.

"Unfortunately, the estimate was over $26,000; more than a single parent on a fixed income with a mortgage payment could afford. Again, Hercules knew what to do and told her to contact Craft3.

Craft3 was able to provide Terry with an affordable Clean Water Loan that covered 100% of the costs of her new septic system.

Craft3 offers the Clean Water Loan to cover the costs of designing, permitting, installing and maintaining residential and commercial septic systems. It helps property owners remain in their homes, protects the environment, support small business and create jobs."

Coaching Clients to Loan Readiness

Our stories tend to focus on the loan and what that loan enables, whether it’s a community center, a retail shop, or a construction project. For business owners, however, it’s often a lot of work to successfully apply for and receive a loan. This is especially true as many of the clients we serve are unable to qualify for bank financing and may need to do additional work to demonstrate loan readiness.

Olympia Community Solar wanted to help Thurgood Marshall Middle School transition to clean energy and lower its utility bills. A Craft3 bridge loan provided the funds upfront to install the solar project. Not only did this provide an environmentally friendly solution, but also it reduced the neighborhood’s energy burdens, allowing the school and residents to reinvest in their buildings, education, and students.
