Program description

The federally-funded Charter Access to Bank Loan Enhancement (Charter ABLE) Program was created from an $20 million grant awarded through the federal “Expanding Quality Charter Schools Program – Grants for Credit Enhancement for Charter School Facilities” (CFDA #84.354A) grant competition in 2019. This program enhances financing to charter schools to lower costs associated with financings for permanent charter school facilities.
