Churchill Stateside Group (“CSG”), a real estate financial services company serving developers and investors in the multifamily housing, renewable energy and entertainment tax credit industries, today announced the closing of a $10.1 million affordable housing transaction. The rural housing portfolio consists of four (4) affordable rural housing properties located throughout the state of Washington.
The properties were constructed in the 1980’s using the USDA 515 Loan Program and Section 42 low-income housing tax credits. CSG provided the construction and permanent financing guaranteed by the USDA-RD 538 Program. The acquisition and rehabilitation of the 109 units includes CSG’s construction and permanent financing coupled with subordination and re-amortization of the original USDA 515 loans, short term tax exempt bonds, Washington State Department of Commerce Trust Fund loan, HOME loan funds, and tax equity proceeds from 4% federal LIHTC. CSG’s affordable housing team provided financing by working with multiple agencies and parties to secure both public and private funding.
“We at Churchill are very pleased to contribute our efforts to assist with the financing of these properties which preserves and updates the apartment units for individuals and families in need of affordable housing,” said Keith Gloeckl, CEO of Churchill Stateside Group.
The scope of the rehabilitation will include new kitchen appliances, kitchen cabinets and countertops, plumbing fixtures, electric baseboard heaters, hot water heaters, flooring, bathroom cabinets and countertops, windows, window coverings, interior/exterior doors, unit painting, roof repairs (where necessary), exterior siding, parking lot resealing/repairs, accessibility issues, site lighting, dumpster enclosures and landscaping.
