CHFA Mortgage Financing for
Multifamily Housing

Increasing the supply and availability of affordable housing for low and moderate income households is the primary role of the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority. By offering financing terms not generally available in the commercial market, the Authority can help developers achieve feasibility for projects which otherwise would not be possible.

CHFA offers:
•Financing for the creation of new or rehabilitated
  affordable units
•Construction to permanent, or permanent
  "takeout" financing
•First mortgage loans with interest rates at or
   below conventional rates

•Loan terms of up to 40 years
•Flexibly structured loans to fill financing gaps (limited funds are available)
•Non-recourse debt

In addition to financing housing development, the Authority's multifamily program plays a role in creating employment for Connecticut's construction industry, supporting the local property tax base, and revitalizing urban neighborhoods.

Financing Sources
•CHFA mortgage loans may be financed with proceeds from the sale of tax-exempt or taxable bonds, and from non-bond sources as available.
•Depending on the source of financing used, additional requirements may apply.

Eligible Borrowers
