INNOVATIVE IDEAS AND POWERFUL SOLUTIONS
CDFI Lending
Access to quality and affordable homes is a critical component to creating healthy communities. Cinnaire Lending offers a broad toolkit of products to support housing development, economic development and healthy communities. Leveraging LIHTC, NMTC and Historic Tax Credits, we are able to finance affordable real estate projects that create opportunities in low-income communities.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago
Cinnaire is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLBC), giving our clients access to its full suite of products. An important product for rental properties is the Affordable Housing Program, or AHP, which awards grant subsidies through a competitive process. These valuable grants, which do not have to be paid back, provide gap funding for affordable rental projects and dovetail well with LIHTC funding.

Through CPC Mortgage, we have a one-stop-shop providing our borrowers with a team of originators, analysts and underwriters solely dedicated to the multifamily Agency lending process.
