Re: Grants to open an assisted living facility
Posted by Chauncey White on 5/05/09
Joseph,
I am a commercial consultant that obtains funding for various
projects; Assisted Living Facilities, Mutlifamily and other
commercial properties.
Funding for the majority of projects is accomplished through a
combination of loans and grants, but in some cases grants only.
