CalCAP Seismic Safety provides support to financial institutions when they make loans to building owners for seismic safety improvements. At this time, there are no financial institutions that have elected to pre-enroll in CalCAP Seismic Safety.

 

However, financial institutions can enroll at any time and building owners can ask financial institutions with whom they have a working relationship to enroll. There is a one-page application form for financial institutions, please have your financial institution visit: https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/cpcfa/calcap/forms/application.pdf

 

Other possible programs are CalCAP for Small Business and CalCAP Collateral Support programs, which allow enrollment of loans made to small businesses for the purposes of building renovation and construction.

​

A building owner that is a small business can begin their process by using technical support to learn about financing options and how to prepare to apply for capital.
