Housing Authority uncertain on funding issue
HIGH POINT — Leaders of the High Point Housing Authority don't have a definitive time frame for when the agency might be able to start issuing new housing vouchers that were put on hold a week ago.
It could be next month or April before authority officials have a better understanding or possible resolution of the situation, CEO Angela Jimenez told The High Point Enterprise prior to the start of the agency's annual meeting on Wednesday.
The bottleneck involves congressional funding of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Congress is mired in the ongoing budget reconciliation process.
Authority leaders say that HUD allocates program funding based on congressional appropriations. The most recent funding level affects the authority's "ability to fully meet its obligations, leading to a potential shortfall unless action is taken," the agency said in a statement released last week
During the housing authority's meeting Wednesday at the Webb Conference Center at High Point University, authority leaders presented the agency's annual report for 2024. Highlights include:
• The authority owns and manages 15 communities that include 900 rental units and 101 Morehead Courts units through Section 8 new construction. The agency was able to supply affordable housing to more than 1,200 families.
• The agency was able to provide rental assistance to more than 1,400 families through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, which secures affordable housing in the private housing market.
• The authority invested more than $1.2 million in capital improvements.
• The agency processed more than 5,300 public housing and Section 8 voucher applications. At year-end the applicant waiting list totaled more than 4,800 people.
• The authority's Family Self-Sufficiency program was awarded a grant of $229,783 to help public housing residents secure access to education, job training and employment.
• The agency received nearly $38,000 in HUD Housing Counseling grants to provide financial literacy and housing counseling services.

Dwight Capital and Dwight Mortgage Trust Finance $475.5MM in May 2025
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dwight Capital and its affiliate REIT, Dwight Mortgage Trust ('DMT'), closed $475.5 million in real estate financings in May. Highlighted transactions included a bridge loan for a skilled nursing portfolio in Florida, a bridge loan for Moment Apartments in Minneapolis, and a HUD 223(f) refinance for Pointe Grand Brunswick in Georgia. DMT closed an $80 million bridge loan to facilitate the acquisition of a five-property, 518-bed skilled nursing portfolio spread throughout central Florida. In conjunction with the bridge loan, Dwight Healthcare Funding provided a $12 million working capital line of credit to support the portfolio's ongoing operational needs. This transaction was originated by Josh Sturm, Managing Director of Senior Housing and Healthcare. DMT also provided a $49 million bridge loan to refinance Moment Apartments, a newly constructed 222-unit luxury apartment community in Minneapolis, MN. The property consists of a 10-story building with 14,713 square feet of ground-floor retail space, occupied by Starbucks and New Horizon Academy. Residents enjoy premium amenities, such as a fitness center, business center, golf simulator, sauna, and swimming pool. Loan proceeds were used to retire existing debt, fund reserves, and cover transaction-related costs. This financing was originated by Vice President Daniel Malka and Jonathan Pomper for the borrower, Sherman Associates. Additionally, Dwight Capital financed a $43 million HUD 223(f) loan for Pointe Grand Brunswick, a 264-unit lakefront community in Brunswick, Georgia. Built in 2023, the property comprises eight three-story garden-style apartment buildings, exclusively featuring two-bedroom, two-bathroom units, situated on over 23 acres. Loan proceeds were used to repay existing debt, including a bridge loan from DMT, cover closing costs, and return equity accumulated since the project's initial construction. The refinance qualified for a reduced Green Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) to 25 basis points, due to the property's National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Bronze Level Certification. The transaction was originated by Managing Director Josh Hoffman and Jonathan Pomper for a recurring Dwight client, Hillpointe, which has successfully developed over $1 billion in multifamily housing assets.
