Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which operate under the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s Duty to Serve Plan, have made financing workforce housing a central component of creating more equitable and sustainable access to quality rental housing. With a wide range of programs and incentives now available, investors have been increasingly securing stable and valuable opportunities, which can also improve the lives of cost-burdened middle-income professionals.
Arbor takes pride in empowering employees to reach their full potential, helping to strengthen our clients and communities. With that aim, our company supported the Fifth Annual Smile Farms Invitational golf outing in Jericho, NY, on September 16, benefiting the Long Island-based non-profit dedicated to advancing opportunities for people with disabilities.
Unless an 11th-hour agreement is reached, a political impasse over budget legislation for the next fiscal year will trigger a federal government shutdown. Starting October 1, 2025, many non-essential federal government operations could potentially be limited or suspended, but most multifamily financing activities will not be disrupted.

Inman Equities, a repeat Arbor borrower, was looking for a bridge loan to finance the acquisition and conversion of a student housing property into a market-rate traditional multifamily development. Once the property was stabilized, Inman Equities wanted to pursue permanent financing for a property they felt had tremendous upside potential. The borrower was also interested in making Canyon Park Apartments a “green” community with financing that would reduce energy and water consumption.
First, Arbor’s Eugene Yanovskiy, VP, Sales, worked with Inman Equities to secure an Arbor Bridge Loan to finance the acquisition, conversion, and rehab of a Tallahassee, FL, student housing development. After the property was converted to market-rate multifamily housing, Yanovskiy partnered with Inman Equities again to secure a Fannie Mae Standard DUS® loan to permanently finance the property. Canyon Park Apartments was also enrolled in Fannie Mae Green Rewards, a program that provides more favorable pricing and funds green upgrades that reduce a property’s carbon footprint.
Inman Equities secured $29.5 million in financing to renovate, remodel, and enhance the student housing development, which would become an apartment community with shared amenities, such as a pool, pickleball courts, and outdoor grilling stations. Arbor’s strong industry relationships made the process seamless and timely. After enrolling in Green Rewards, Inman Equities received a lower interest rate and incentives to make environmentally friendly improvements that add value to the property.
