Renaissance Community Loan Fund

Renaissance Community Loan Fund, known as RCLF, is a nonprofit community development lender that makes home loans, home improvement loans and small business loans across Mississippi and Alabama. It is a certified CDFI and SBA lender, and it grew out of community redevelopment work after Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Home and business borrowers get one-on-one help from housing counselors and business coaches, and free classes and resources are available, including homeownership counseling and COMPASS business training. The Tupelo office is at West Main Street in Tupelo, with other offices in Gulfport, Hattiesburg, Mobile and Birmingham. Loan servicing payments can be made through an online portal for clients.
