About the Multifamily Housing Program

Our Multifamily Housing program is relatively new to the Cumberland Housing Group and is a direct result of  our approval by HUD to participate in the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program which converts an existing Public Housing development to a Multifamily Housing development.  In federal Multifamily Housing, the owner has a contract directly with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD provides rental subsidies, below-market interest financing, mortgage insurance, or other forms of assistance.  A multi-family home is a single building that’s set up to accommodate more than one family living separately.

Multifamily Housing can consist of several different individual or combination of affordable Housing Programs which contain somewhat varied application and qualification requirements.  We encourage you to review the other pages within this section to determine if you are interested and qualify for the Multifamily Housing program.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us and speak to a Multifamily Housing Property Manager who specializes in the qualifications and requirements of the program.
