by Amy Works August 4, 2017

CAMDEN, N.J. — Love Funding has secured a $13 million FHA loan to refinance and rehabilitate Camden Townhomes, a scattered-site affordable housing property located in Camden. Camden Townhomes is a collection of 89 units spread over 64 separate tax parcels scattered throughout the Lanning Square and Bergen Square areas of the city. The loans proceeds, along with 4 percent Low-Incoming Housing Tax Credits provided by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, will be used to renovate the property. The renovations will result in more than $125,000 in improvements, including the replacement of all systems and fixtures with energy-efficient upgrades, for each of the units being rehabbed. The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs originally purchased and assembled the units in 1992. At the time, the property was recognized as a single manageable and marketable development and awarded a 15-year Section 8 project-based voucher contract as part of a substantial rehabilitation. As part of the latest transaction, the project has been approved for a new 20-year contract. Leonard Lucas of Love Funding obtained the financing through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Section 221(d)(4) mortgage insurance program.
