Love and Supportive

A brand new supportive living facility is set to go up on a 2.5-acre lot in an urban neighborhood around six miles from downtown Chicago. All 120 studio and one-bedroom units will be backed by Illinois’s Supportive Living Program, which is an apartment-style alternative to skilled nursing care for low-income seniors and those with disabilities under Medicaid.

Also, a portion of the memory care wing will be set aside for veterans with mild brain trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder,... Read More »

Love Funding Building its Bridge program

by | Jun 10, 2015 8:33 am | Financings

Love Funding is making a splash in the bridge-to-HUD lending arena, a space where it has not seen much action before. Helped in large part by the late-2014 acquisition of its parent company (Heartland Bank) by Midland States Bank, Love gained access to a larger and more accessible capital platform. So the program was started this spring, with eight healthcare transactions (representing $78 million) already in the pipeline. The loans are split 50-50 between skilled nursing facilities and assisted living communities and are mostly for acquisitions (4), with a couple each for cash outs and new construction. The transactions are not limited to a specific region either, with four in... Read More »
