Affordable housing finance CHF operates as a revolving loan fund and CDFI focused on low-cost financing for land acquisition, pre-development costs, construction, preservation, and homeownership, indicating ongoing opportunities to partner with nonprofit developers pursuing new projects or expansions in Oregon.

Strategic partnerships Recent collaborative initiative Advancing Cities with Craft3 and NOAH, backed by JP Morgan Chase, plus alliances with Unite Oregon and HomePlate Youth Services, suggest a strong appetite for co-lending and blended-finance deals to address displacement and equity in Washington County.

Growing loan portfolio With over $11 million in originated loans and more than $550 million leveraged to support 2,400 affordable homes, CHF demonstrates scale and impact potential, signaling readiness for larger or multi-site financing programs and phased funding opportunities.

Public sector alignment CHF’s origins with Washington County and past funding from US Treasury indicate strong alignment with public sector grant and subsidy programs, presenting doors for subsidized financing, program grants, or blended financing arrangements for new affordable housing initiatives.

Tech-enabled outreach Current tech stack including WordPress, Microsoft 365, and integration tools suggests capacity to engage partners and manage funder communications; sales outreach could leverage digital channels and targeted partnerships with regional housing developers and social impact funders.
