HomeBASE Microloan Initiative

SBU365 has identified a major barrier to stable housing for families in our community, rental deposits. The HomeBASE microloan initiative was created to combat that barrier. 

HomeBASE stands for: 

B – Break Barriers

A – Address Inequities

S – Secure Housing

E – Encourage Sustainability

Typically, a $800-$1,500 wall stands between a working family and a stable living situation.  This program provides microloans to qualified individuals and will help ensure the family has access to a place to call home.
