CHFA Awarded Capital Magnet Funds
The U.S. Department of the Treasury awarded CHFA a $4.5 million Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) grant to support the preservation and construction of affordable multifamily rental housing in Colorado. CMF grants are competitively awarded to qualified nonprofit housing organizations and Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs), and this is the sixth time that CHFA has been awarded a CMF grant since 2017.
To date, CHFA has deployed $38.1 million in prior CMF awards to 46 developments throughout Colorado, supporting more than 3,000 affordable apartments. More than half of the units supported by CHFA’s CMF program are for households with incomes at or below 50 percent of Area Median Income (AMI). In addition, preference is given to housing located in rural areas and/or areas of economic distress as defined by the U.S. Department of the Treasury CDFI Fund.

Industrial Bonds Support Waste Transfer Facility
CHFA recently issued $13 million in Industrial Development Bonds to NOCO Disposal Services to finance the construction of a new waste transfer station in Greeley that will serve the surrounding area. The bond issuance included $10 million in tax-exempt bonds and $3 million in taxable bonds.
The facility will operate as a collection site where local trucks deliver waste to be compacted before it is sent to a final site for disposal. Waste transfer stations are designed to make solid waste collection more efficient while reducing transportation costs, air emissions, energy use, truck traffic, and wear and tear on infrastructure. This will be an important asset to communities in and around Greeley, as the nearest landfill location is 30 to 50 minutes away.
