CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
No public data on volume of loans made or approval rates is available from the source.
CHF is a CDFI focused on a specific county, so the pool of eligible applicants is geographically limited. They explicitly invite housing developers, lenders, and community services providers to reach out, suggesting they are open to new inquiries.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm your project is in Washington County, Oregon and involves housing or community facilities — 1 day
Contact CHF directly via phone or email to discuss your project and eligibility — 1–2 days
Work through CHF's underwriting and technical assistance process — Weeks to months depending on project complexity
WORTH KNOWING
CHF works at the earliest stages of development when other lenders won't engage yet — if you have a project that's pre-feasibility, that's actually when they want to hear from you, not after you've secured other financing.
