We're here to help.

In light of the current health concerns associated with Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are doing business a little differently.

Many of the S.C. Rural Infrastructure Authority’s staff will be working remotely. All staff working with the grant and loan programs will be available through email and will monitor phone messages.

As more information becomes available, we will keep you updated on our programs through email and our website.

Loans

State Revolving Funds (SRF) provide a viable, low-cost financing option for communities to invest in waste water treatment and collection, drinking water supply and distribution, water quality and non-point source infrastructure. This federally capitalized loan program is jointly administered with the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control.

Funding Coordination

We serve as a resource for communities to access information about financial and technical assistance. RIA helps to identify affordable solutions and works with other partners to coordinate assistance. In this way, scarce resources can be leveraged to serve as a catalyst for further investments.
