The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has set aside a portion of its HOME allocation to assist Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) in the preparation of complete and comprehensive development financing applications in order to maximize the use of CHDO set-aside funds. The total amount reserved for this State Fiscal Year is approximately $180,000. The maximum loan amount is $30,000.
Eligible activities for the CPLP includes the financing of predevelopment costs associated with the eligible project, incurred up to the closing of the HOME Rental Housing Program funded construction loan under the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP), Single Family Development Program (SFDP) or Permanent Supportive Housing Program (PSHP) funded construction loan. These costs include, but are not limited to, initial feasibility study, market study, consulting fees, associated expenditures with the preparation of preliminary financial applications to non-DCA funding sources, site control, title clearance fees and expenses associated with architectural, legal engineering and development services.
To participate in this program a nonprofit must be certified by the State as a Community Housing Development Organization.
