The transaction utilized a component of the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program that allows for blending RAD with Section 18 of the National Housing Act to fund the preservation of aging affordable housing. Lument’s Joey Hague led the transaction. The units were converted through the RAD program in conjunction with 4 percent Low-Income Housing Tax Credits through the Ohio Housing Finance Agency.
