FORT MYERS, Florida – In partnership with the Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency, Catalyst Community Capital closed a loan with Affordable Holdings, LLC for the acquisition and renovation of a five-unity property in the Cleveland Area redevelopment district.
The transaction is part of an effort by the Fort Myers CRA to create and preserve much needed affordable housing in the area. As part of the loan requirements, the property will restrict rent limits for the next ten years to assist in meeting the growing demand for affordable housing in Fort Myers.
“We are so happy to be able to partner with such an innovative and forward-thinking CRA. Michele Hylton-Terry and her group have the right mindset on how to adapt to the changing real estate market and deliver results for their community. In addition, Affordable Holdings, with its local knowledge and desire to create positive change in its community, is the perfect group to embark on this project. We look forward to working with them on their next successful projects.” Michael Maguire, COO of Catalyst remarked.
