If you’re a California public employee and feeling overwhelmed by multiple monthly bills—credit cards, car payments, student loans—you’re not alone. It’s tough to get ahead when everything’s pulling from your paycheck at once.
But there’s a smarter way to manage it all—and your home might be the key.
Consolidate Debt and Lower Your Monthly Expenses
The California Employee Loan Program (CELP) was built to give public employees access to better mortgage pricing and lower rates. That means you might be able to use your mortgage to consolidate high-interest debt—and come out ahead with fewer monthly payments and more financial breathing room.
Here’s how it works:
✅ Step 1: Replace your current mortgage
We’ll help you refinance your existing mortgage into a new one, using the special pricing available through CELP.
✅ Step 2: Take cash out from your equity
The new mortgage includes a cash-out component, which goes straight into your bank account.
✅ Step 3: Pay off high-interest debt
You can use that cash to eliminate credit card balances, personal loans, or other obligations that may be eating into your monthly budget.
✅ Step 4: Enjoy one simple payment—often with a lower total monthly cost
Even if your current mortgage rate is lower than today’s, the blended rate of all your debts may be significantly higher. We can help you see the full picture
