VIUM Capital, a leading national lender focused exclusively on the seniors housing and healthcare sectors, announced today that it has been ranked the #1 HUD 232 lender by both total loan count and total loan volume through the midpoint of HUD’s fiscal year (March 31, 2026).
Columbus, OH – April 29, 2026: VIUM Capital, a leading national lender focused exclusively on the seniors housing and healthcare sectors, announced today that it has been ranked the #1 HUD 232 lender by both total loan count and total loan volume through the midpoint of HUD’s fiscal year (March 31, 2026).
VIUM led all HUD LEAN approved lenders with 41 closed loans totaling approximately $600 million in volume. When including outstanding firm commitments, VIUM’s total production reached 57 transactions representing approximately $900 million, further solidifying its leadership position across the platform.
“We are proud to be recognized as the top HUD LEAN lender at the halfway point of the fiscal year,” said Steve Kennedy, Co-Founder and Principal of VIUM Capital. “This achievement reflects the trust of our clients and our singular focus on delivering certainty and execution in the HUD financing process. We are especially grateful to our first-class team for their hard work and commitment, which drives our ability to consistently perform at a high level.”
“Our platform is built around consistency, expertise, and delivering for our clients in all market environments,” said Kass Matt, Co-Founder and Principal of VIUM Capital. “We are also appreciative of the continued evolution of HUD’s Section 232 program, which has become increasingly efficient and effective in supporting the healthcare and seniors housing sector. That progress, combined with the dedication of our team and partners, positions us well to sustain this momentum through the remainder of the year.”
VIUM’s increased production has been further strengthened by favorable programmatic tailwinds, including increased velocity within the HUD 232 queue and the launch of the HUD 232 “Express Lane” for qualified projects. VIUM’s leadership team continues to advocate for these industry advancements through key roles at HMAC (President, Alison Lemle), MBA (COMBOG Board Member, Steve Kennedy), and ASHA (Board Member, Kass Matt), among others.
