What can we help you with?
Housing Development
Lease Purchase Program: Our nationally recognized Lease Purchase program uses the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to provide a 15-year pathway to home ownership for low-income families. CHN is the nation’s largest developer of LIHTC single-family homes. Since 1987, CHN has helped over 1,700 renters become homeowners.
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH): CHN is the lead developer in Cuyahoga County, Ohio’s Housing First Initiative. Through 12 PSH buildings and 757 units developed over the past 20 years, chronic homelessness in Cuyahoga County has decreased by 80%.
Family & Senior Multifamily Development: Partnering with service providers, CDCs, and Public Housing Authorities to meet critical community needs, CHN has developed over 1,300 units of housing for families and seniors over the past 20 years.
Affordable Housing Preservation: As affordable housing ages, it may require physical improvements and extension of affordability restrictions. CHN has substantial experience with recapitalizing and preserving existing housing to preserve the availability of high-quality affordable housing.
