Apartment development depends heavily on the pro forma and securing financing that will pencil out. This webinar will give a clear, practical overview of the Apartment Construction Loan Program (ACLP), the federal financing program designed to make purpose-built rental projects more feasible.
The session will walk attendees through how ACLP works, the primary benefits, and specifically how developers, investors, & housing partners can utilize it to unlock stronger economics for multi-unit projects.
What the session covers:
- How ACLP can increase leverage and improve project returns
- Eligibility requirements and how they differ from CMHC’s previous RCFi program
- Key underwriting considerations, timelines, and approval stages
- How to prepare a strong application package
- Case examples showing how ACLP supports missing-middle, mid-rise, and large multi-residential builds
