Freddie Mac Impact Gap Financing for NOAH Properties 

Nonprofit organizations working to preserve the supply of affordable housing in the U.S. need look no further than the Freddie Mac NOAH Preservation Loan for the financing they need. However, if they want additional funds to acquire or moderately rehabilitate a Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) property, they can pair their Freddie Mac NOAH Preservation Loan with Freddie Mac Impact Gap Financing.

Freddie's Impact Gap Financing program allows them to achieve up to 97% combined loan-to-cost, with combined DSCRs as low as 1.05x. By utilizing the private funds of impact investors through Freddie Mac's reliable infrastructure, Impact Gap Financing gives nonprofits greater financial flexibility to acquire and improve affordable properties.
