Details:
This Authority is included under the umbrella organization "Finance and Development Commission." The Allegheny County Residential Finance Authority (the "ACRFA") was established pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, particularly Article XXII-A, Section 2201-A et seq. Of the Second Class County Code, Act of July 28, 1953, P.L. 723, No. 230, as amended (the "RFA Act"). The ACRFA was approved by the Allegheny County Board of Commissioners on November 19, 1981 while its Articles of Incorporation were approved by the Commonwealth on December 4, 1981. The ACRFA has the ability to issue obligations for any eligible project within the Commonwealth, provided it receives by resolution, host approval from the highest elected official of the city or county in which the project is located. The ACRFA issues obligations on behalf certain developers for the financing and/or refinancing of costs incurred for the acquisition, reconstruction, rehabilitation, renovation or improvement of a project. Eligible projects may include certain multifamily dwellings, including, but not limited to, nursing homes and personal care boarding homes. Certain tenant mix, use and income limit requirements, as prescribed in the Code and Regulations, must be met in order for the Authority to issue its obligations in assistance to the project. Prospective borrowers should consult their counsel at the time of application to determine the then current regulations which must be met.
