    CHC originates predevelopment (unsecured) and early-stage acquisition loans for NeighborWorks® Network developers. With access to reliable, early-stage financing from CHC, our borrowers are able to directly compete with market-rate developers by moving quickly and confidently to acquire vacant land and under-performing and/or operating properties. Our loans have helped developers acquire and preserve some of the only remaining affordable housing units in rapidly gentrifying areas, with many designed to allow residents with special needs to remain in their neighborhood.

    CHC’s underwriting expertise uses a collaborative approach and provides the flexibility necessary to efficiently close early-stage transactions, even when subsidies and financing may not have been fully identified and committed. We finance the purchase of vacant land and buildings as well as the purchase of blighted properties that are subsequently demolished or repurposed.

    CHC specializes in single family (scattered site and subdivisions) and multifamily construction lending with an expertise that allows for a faster, more efficient process. For example, CHC’s in-house construction administration enables us to offer flexible draw schedules (even weekly or as draws need to be adjusted) throughout the development cycle. This flexibility allows our borrowers to hire smaller, local construction companies that would normally struggle waiting to be paid on longer payment schedules. CHC’s borrowers can proceed confidently knowing that financing is in place, further reducing costs with more predictable and efficient construction workflows.

    CHC can help you determine the best mix of financing for your project. Call us to learn more at (404) 373-5662.
