Contract AwardAdministration & FinanceDetected Jun 16, 2026

On June 16, 2026 the Bellingham Housing Authority Board adopted Resolution 2842, authorizing a revolving line of credit revenue note facility of up to $20,000,000 with KeyBank National Association. The line includes both taxable and tax‑exempt tranches and is secured by a pledge of the authority’s general revenues, with an initial term of about two years and interest tied to SOFR. The stated primary use is to quickly fund small- and mid‑sized acquisitions of land and existing multifamily properties, as well as predevelopment and other corporate purposes related to housing projects.While the banking relationship and credit facility are now in place, each draw will relate to specific acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, or equipment projects that will need due diligence, professional services, and eventual permanent financing. Vendors in real estate, development, legal/financial advisory, due diligence, and design/construction have a near‑term opportunity to help BHA originate and execute deals that will be financed under this facility.

Facility expressly intended to finance or refinance acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, and equipping of real estate, housing, and related improvements, plus predevelopment and corporate needs.
