Community Reinvestment Project (CRP) Loan Readiness Program

The Community Reinvestment Project (CRP) is a program funded by the Washington State Department of Commerce as part of a statewide $200 million Community Reinvestment Project initiative. Through the allocation for Tacoma Urban League and The Tacoma Black Fund we are offering a combination of loans and grants to support Tacoma-based businesses that align with the CRP’s goals of addressing economic inequities and historical barriers caused by the enforcement of criminal laws and penalties during the war on drugs.
