Depending on the size and purpose of your loan request, you may be required to provide 2 guarantors for your loan. Guarantors must be over 25 years old and at least one guarantor must be a resident of California.  Please do not let the guarantor requirement keep you from submitting your application. Please complete the secure application form and a member of the HFLSD staff will be in touch as soon as possible regarding your application, guarantor(s) and next steps.
