Lending

Our loans have a range of uses, including property acquisition, new construction, and rehabilitation of multi-family rental, homeownership, or mixed-use projects. We offer both non-profit and for-profit developers and community-based organizations construction financing, acquisition loans, pre-development loans, and bridge loans for Historic Tax Credits to sponsors of LIHTC and NMTC properties. We also offer lines of credit on a selective basis to customers with whom we have a long-standing relationship.
