State and local issuers provide financing for single family home ownership and for the construction and renovation of affordable rental housing through the issuance of tax-exempt and taxable revenue bonds. Proceeds of these bonds provide low interest rate mortgages for single family homeowners and finance apartment construction and renovation. Gilmore & Bell serves as bond counsel in connection with the issuance of these special types of revenue bonds and is experienced in a variety of financing structures regularly used in housing finance, such as the credit enhancement programs offered by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, as well as bond insurance, FHA and GNMA credit enhancement, bank credit facilities and unrated debt offerings.
