HUD and Project Financing

The U.S. Dept. of HUD (Housing and Urban Development) is putting money on the line–$10.3 billion in Fiscal Year 2022. These formula grants will go to communities across the United States for housing and community development activities ranging from affordable housing developments to public housing modernization to economic opportunities for people with low and moderate incomes.

The grants include $6.3 billion in allocations to eligible applicants through the CPD Formula Grant Program. Among the distributions are:

  • $3.3 billion for the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) program. These provide annual grants on a formula basis to states, cities, and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low-income and moderate-income persons.
  • $1.5 billion for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). The program provides funding to states and localities to use – often in partnership with local nonprofit groups – to fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people.
  • $738 million to the Housing Trust Fund to provide funding to produce affordable housing units for households with extremely low incomes.
  • $405 milliontoHOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS) grants, providing rental housing assistance and supportive services for persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families.

In addition, the Capital Fund Program Awards include $3.2 billionto 2,813 PHA (Public Housing Agencies) for the development, financing, and modernization of public-housing developments and for management improvements. The IHBG (Indian Housing Block Grant) Formula allocates $775 million to 594 eligible tribes under the IHBG Formula Program to provide funding for affordable housing activities on Indian reservations, in Indian communities, and in Alaska Native villages.

While grants are part of HUD’s activity, the more familiar role the agency has is in insuring loans. As an example, Cambridge Realty Capital Companies recently closed a $7,448,382 HUD-insured loan for the Springfield Supportive Living Center, a 127-bed supportive/assisted living facility located in Springfield, Ill.

The company is one of the nation’s leading specialized senior housing and healthcare debt and equity capital providers, with more than 500 closed senior housing transactions totalling more than $6.5 billion.

Cambridge has provided $802 million in debt financing since March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. With many employees working away from the office, the situation required a certain level of adjustment. Even so, the Cambridge HUD team has been 100% focused on processing applications. One of the primary reasons for Cambridge’s success during the pandemic was that they focused on working with the government and helped create a user-friendly environment. The task was solving the complexity of government regulations and making the government process understandable for borrowers. Considering their record, the results were pretty good.

Funding and Partnerships

Money makes the world go around, some say. Relationships make the world go around say others. Combine the two and you can get dizzy going around and around. In technology, though, the combination of funding and partnerships does, indeed, make things happen. Construction, being a niche market, often draws less interest from general software companies, leaving the field to the specialists. Once a product has been proven, however, general investors will come aboard, and like-minded technology companies will sign on as partners or integrators. Take StructionSite , as an example. The company is a provider of intelligent project tracking software for construction and recently announced $10 million in funding that includes new institutional capital from 500 Global as well as strategic investments from PCL Construction and GS Futures. The new funds will be used to expand StructionSite’s platform capabilities and extend its position in the market. The company also announced its latest partne

The Next Generation of Wearable

Image
Imagine this: In a manufacturing plant, workers can do picks without getting off their vehicles. They have a forklift they are driving, and they can get the next picking instruction while still driving because they can scan the barcode from a distance. Or what about this: Wind turbine workers can climb up and down and leave the laptop on the ground. At the same time, technology is self-documenting, and the reports are creating themselves. This is what the future of work will look like with the help of assisted-reality wearables for frontline workers. Assisted reality is a non-immersive experience and has become a good solution for frontline industrial workers, especially where high situational awareness is necessary. Assisted reality experiences are closer to the physical world—when compared to VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) experiences that immerse workers in the metaverse. Consider this example of assisted reality. In December, RealWear unveiled RealW
