Program description

The federally-funded Charter School Facilities Credit Enhancement Grant Program was created from a $20 million grant awarded in 2023  through the federal “Expanding Opportunity through Quality Charter Schools Program- Credit Enhancement (CE) Program” (ALN#84.354A) grant competition in 2023.  This program provides grants to fully or partially fund debt service reserve accounts on bond transactions issued through the Authority. The grant is intended to reduce the overall cost of borrowing for charter schools as it eliminates the need to fund the reserve through bond proceeds.
