Bridge-to-HUD Loan Program

A Bridge-to-HUD loan is short-term, interim financing allowing borrowers time to structure an FHA/HUD-insured mortgage that aligns with their goals. Our bridge loans are commonly used for borrowers to close on an acquisition, fund a recapitalization, or complete renovations, while Century prepares, underwrites, and closes the permanent HUD loan in parallel.

Why Bridge to HUD?

HUD's FHA-insured mortgage programs offer some of the most attractive long-term, non-recourse financing available for multifamily and seniors housing. A Bridge-to-HUD loan puts capital to work immediately, on the borrower’s timeline, enabling Century and the borrower to structure a long-term, low fixed rate, non-recourse loan that meets the borrower’s financing needs.
