EU social housing
The above term features just the once in a document relating to EU social housing, in a table, in a box entitled 'Exclusive rights':
"* SGA (société de garantie de l'accession
* **transformation et distribution prêts**
* Caisses d'épargne, Poste, etc."
I'm struggling to work out how a loan can be 'transformé'. Can anyone enlighten me please?
Many TIA,
Vicky

processing and distribution
I believe that's what is meant here; another possibility is "conversion" but I give preference to the first idea.

Sic. The transformation is likely to be 'en subvention', i.e., loans transformed into aid or subsidised loans.

'Loan conversion' is a common term, but it typically applies when one type of loan is converted to another type (e.g., floating-rate to fixed-rate). If loans are replace by grants or some loan principal is forgiven, you may be safer to stick with 'transformation'.
