Loan at a Glance: 

PCG Capital collaborated with Virginia Community Capital (VCC) to provide a non-revolving line of credit to Genesis Properties, utilizing our GAP loan product. This partnership with VCC, a CDFI loan fund, bank and CDBA member, extends our lending relationship with the organization. VCC has a successful track record in affordable housing deals.

Project Summary:

The line of credit was used to plan and finalize the development of vacant land into an affordable housing property creating 150 units with rent restrictions by the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The units will be affordable to residents making at or below 60% AMI. The apartments will serve a community that is 54.8% BIPOC with a median household income of $44,825. These affordable housing units will help all residents save $245,000 annually compared to market rate rents.

This property is located in an area of Richmond with banks, grocery stores, hospitals, parks, and interstate access. This property provides the opportunity for low and middle income families to live in a neighborhood that is convenient and affordable.
