Customer Testimonials

“Bellwether Enterprise has successfully worked with Salus on multiple HUD Section 8 assisted and insured projects since Salus was founded. These projects include a smaller senior designation project utilizing a Fannie Mae acquisition loan and a 221(d)(4) construction loan utilizing 4% LIHTC. We also provided a rehabilitation loan for a 100% Section 8 Family complex. This project utilized a 223(f) immediate execution loan alongside 4% LIHTC. Both these projects closed on time and have completed or are on budget with little displacement or interruption to the existing tenant population. Salus provides an extraordinarily collaborative team and brings a very creative and focused energy to the projects they work on. I highly recommend them for complex affordable redevelopment projects where a true partnership is needed to establish the project goals and vision, and ultimately to execute on that vision and deliver it to completion.

Senior V.P. Bellwether Enterprise
I can state that my experience with Section 202 projects, and other affordable housing programs supported by HUD, now exceeds 20 years, and that I have been involved with hundreds of 202 development and redevelopment projects throughout the country.
I have worked with Salus Development on a number of affordable housing projects involving Section 202 and associated HAP and PRAC funding, as well as low incoming housing tax credits, both in Ohio and in Pennsylvania. I have been consistently impressed with their understanding of all aspects of affordable housing development, including budgeting, financing, construction and HUD regulations. They have demonstrated creativity and flexibility in each of the projects on which we have worked together. I enthusiastically recommend them for your project.
