Central Market Cultural District Loan Fund

The Central Market Cultural District Loan Fund (CDLF) will enable the City and County of San Francisco to provide $11 million in HUD Section 108-guaranteed loan proceeds to support eligible projects that will contribute to the stabilization and revitalization of the Central Market and Tenderloin area. A primary emphasis will be on financing businesses and development projects that will enhance the area’s cultural arts and entertainment functions, building on the economic assets already there and focusing on industries that have the ability to create and/or retain jobs for low- and moderate-income people. 

Application Process

STEP ONE
If you are interested in a loan from the CDLF, fill out the PRE-APPLICATION form.  Once we determine your project satisfies preliminary eligibility thresholds, we will ask that you provide documentation for us to further evaluate your project. 

STEP TWO
Please submit the APPLICATION form only after we have requested that you do so.

Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to working with you.
