Since 2016, the East Texas Council of Governments (ETCOG) has operated the Community Loan Center (CLC) of East Texas, providing low-interest, low-fee personal loans as an affordable alternative to high-cost payday and auto title loans.
As we transition out of direct loan services, we remain committed to supporting financial empowerment in our region. Existing loan customers can continue to manage their accounts through the portal below. For new loan inquiries, we encourage you to connect with our program partner, the Community Loan Center of the Rio Grande Valley, which offers the same affordable loan options.
