FINANCING FOR SENIOR HOUSING, NURSING HOMES, ASSISTED LIVING, AND HOSPITALS

2013-03-06T11:24:00.000-08:00

Owners of multifamily, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals have long preferred traditional bank lenders over FHA-based financing. The usual reason is the difficulty and frustration of dealing with FHA versus the relative ease of dealing with sophisticated lenders. Due to the changes from the real estate market crash, the wave of bank consolidations, and the reluctance of the remaining banks to return to lending, owners should reexamine their traditional views of FHA financing.

Traditional financial institutions no longer securitize senior multifamily and health care loans, thereby eliminating the availability of conduit financing for these projects. We have not yet seen the end of the foreclosure crisis and if banks incur addition losses, bank financing for these types of projects will be almost impossible to obtain.

FHA, on the other hand, has improved its process dramatically. FHA-based financing has always offered several significant advantages over traditional bank and conduit lending sources if one was willing to deal with the red tape. Much of that red tape has now been removed or streamlined and programs to finance hospitals have been added. The most obvious advantage to FHA is continued credit availability that is unaffected by the subprime fiasco. Additional advantages are lower fixed rates, nonrecourse loans, and long-term fully-amortizing debt.

FHA loans do not contain the numerous covenants contained in traditional lending documents and specifically do not contain a debt service coverage requirement. As markets evolve and Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement methodologies are revised, a manager’s ability to maintain a stable and predictable debt service coverage is continually challenged. FHA-based financing will prove especially valuable.

Our principal business is providing FHA-based refinancing for multifamily, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals. We pride ourselves on our ability to restructure traditional debt into FHA-based debt and working with owners to develop a program using both traditional and FHA-based financing. Let us help you with your financial needs. Please contact us at your earliest convenience.

Program helps hospitals access capital, stimulate economy

The Federal Housing Administration’s Section 242 Mortgage Insurance Program offers a “ray of sunshine” for hospitals looking to address their financing needs for construction projects, an FHA official told hospital leaders April 27 at the American Hospital Association annual meeting. “But for Section 242 many hospitals wouldn’t exist in small rural communities,” said Roger Miller, who heads the FHA program for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

This month, the program completed its largest single transaction in history, insuring a $756 million hospital mortgage that will save Capital Health of Trenton, NJ, an estimated $538 million in interest over the 25-year life of the loan. Miller noted that every $1 billion in FHA-financed construction produces $2.8 billion in economic stimulation, because hospitals “are economic engines that create jobs and stimulate the economy.”

AHA has proposed strengthening and streamlining the HUD 242 program by increasing program funding, and providing additional financial resources to hospitals so they may qualify for the program.

HUD APPROVES $777 MILLION DEAL TO CONSTRUCT 223-BED HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING,HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development today made a commitment to insure a loan to Capital Health System (CHS) in Trenton, New Jersey to construct a new 223-bed hospital in Hopewell Township, New Jersey to replace the existing Mercer Medical Center. The $777 million loan is made possible through the Federal Housing Administration's Section 242 Hospital Mortgage Insurance Program.

In addition, the system's Fuld Hospital will create two new medical-surgical units and provide space to accommodate services transferred from Mercer. By insuring the mortgage loan, FHA enabled Capital Health System to obtain a lower cost financing, saving the hospital an estimated $487 million in interest payments throughout the life of the loan.
