Supportive Housing

CEDAC serves as the Department of Housing and Community Development’s (DHCD) underwriting agent for multiple state loan programs that provide deferred-payment, zero interest, subordinated permanent mortgage financing to help meet the costs of producing supportive housing. These loan products frequently blend with Low Income Housing Tax Credits and other state and local soft debt. On behalf of DHCD, CEDAC underwrites, closes and provides asset management services for loans under under four state loan programs.
