CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 17, 2026--

Churchill Stateside Group (CSG) is highlighting its Private Tax-Exempt Loan (P-TEL) financing platform, an established construction-to-permanent debt solution designed for 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) developments utilizing tax-exempt bonds.

The P-TEL program provides developers with a streamlined, single-source financing structure from construction through stabilization, pairing tax-exempt interest rates with long-term, fixed-rate permanent financing.

“Developers need certainty, efficiency, and execution in today’s affordable housing environment,” said Dan Duda, EVP, National Director of Originations & Acquisitions for CSG. “Our P-TEL platform is a proven solution for navigating tax-exempt bond transactions while securing long-term, non-recourse debt.”

Key P-TEL features include:

• Construction-to-permanent loan structure with draw-based funding
• Interest-only payments during construction
• Floating-rate construction financing converting to fixed-rate permanent debt
• Permanent rates locked prior to construction closing
• Long-term, non-recourse permanent financing

P-TEL financing is available for the new construction and substantial rehabilitation of affordable housing communities that meet applicable LIHTC and tax-exempt bond requirements.

With decades of experience in affordable housing and multifamily finance, Churchill Stateside Group brings deep expertise in LIHTC, tax-exempt bonds, and construction-to-permanent execution, supporting developers through every phase of the transaction.
