Predevelopment Lending

Ohio Affordable Housing Loan Fund

Ohio Capital Finance Corporation (OCFC) is the lending arm of Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing (OCCH). OCFC was created in 2002 to further expand OCCH’s predevelopment lending activities. In 2004, OCFC formed the $10 million Ohio Affordable Housing Loan Fund I, LLC (Loan Fund) to expand OCFC’s lending abilities and provide additional scarce predevelopment, acquisition, and bridge financing dollars to developers of affordable housing in Ohio. In December 2006, an additional $7million of capital was closed into the Fund and is now available to qualified borrowers. OCFC offers products that are necessary, especially for nonprofit developers, and that generally are not otherwise available. OCFC lending permits developers to gain site control, engage engineering and environmental studies, hire architects and attorneys, conduct market studies, package projects for construction and permanent financing as well as the acquisition of land and/or buildings for affordable housing development.
