Loan Process
1
Apply
The customer applies for a loan online. Craft3 reviews the application and communicates the credit decision to the homeowner in as few as three business days.
2
Plan and Submit
The contractor works with the customer on a bid based on the approved design. The bid is submitted to Craft3 and loan documents are prepared for the customer to sign.
3
Disburse Funds
An initial disbursement is made to the contractor. Some projects require an approved permit. The contractor then completes the project as specified in the project bid and submits final paperwork to receive payment.
NOTE: Clean Water Loan projects in Washington State must be assessed by the Department of Ecology for any potential adverse effects to cultural resources, such as archaeological objects, or historic properties. This review takes approximately 30 days. For more information see the Guide to Cultural Resources Review.

Customer Stories
Building Connections and Communities
A Craft3 loan helped Randal, a first-time homeowner, build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that will be rented to a tenant who earns 80 percent or less of the area median income. [Randal was thrilled to build a unit of lower-income in-fill housing while also creating a permanent asset.]
Contractors Testimonial
“With Craft3, it is reassuring that I won’t have to wait for a check in the mail. I like that I can open my bank account and see that the deposit is there, then get that paperwork submitted to DEQ. It’s easier on my customers too.”
