HUD Senior Housing Program Plagued by Delays, But Worth the Wait

October 19, 2011

A recent Seniors Housing Study released by National Real Estate Investor and Senior Housing Investment Advisor showed nearly half of survey respondents indicating HUD’s Lean 232 program had fallen short of their expectations, but lenders say this is due to the long waiting period from the backlog of applications for the program, not the program itself
