“In 1979, First Housing was more than a new enterprise; it was a completely new concept. For the first time in the U.S., a statewide lender brought together financial institutions and government agencies to address financing for affordable multifamily rental housing. It was the springboard for a succession of pioneer achievements. Our company originated Florida’s first statewide housing bond issue, closed the first Rural Housing Services loan in the nation and ranks first in government services to issuers of multifamily housing bonds. Today, the breadth of our services and the depth of our staff’s experience is unrivaled, firmly establishing First Housing as the leader in multifamily housing financing.”
