Please read below for further information about our Carryover Loan, Bridge Loan, and Predevelopment Loan Programs.
For developers who intend to place a project having a reservation of tax credits with a CAHEC-sponsored equity fund, the Carryover Loan Program is a tool designed to assist with paying the costs needed to meet the 10% test requirements for a carryover allocation. The Carryover Loan Program is intended to be a short-term bridge loan until the construction loan and tax credit equity are closed.
The Bridge Loan Program provides greater financing flexibility during periods of the development process that are typically undercapitalized. The Bridge Loan Program allows developers to make progress on projects before tax credit equity is closed and can also be used side-by-side with a construction-to-permanent mortgage loan when subordinate debt is needed. Bridge loan size and terms are determined based on loan underwriting.
Predevelopment loans are intended to provide a source of funds for nonprofit entities to pay for expenses related to planning tax credit-eligible developments for which CAHEC-sponsored equity funds would have an interest in providing investment capital. Examples of typical qualifying predevelopment expenses include market studies, consulting fees, preliminary architectural plans, site control, appraisals, surveys, soil tests, environmental assessments, legal fees, and application fees.
A nonprofit entity may borrow up to $100,000 including interest and fees, with a limit of $50,000 per application.
