VIUM Capital Named a Top Healthcare HUD Lender for Second Consecutive Year

Seniors housing and healthcare lender VIUM Capital (“VIUM”) has once again been recognized as a top performer in HUD healthcare lending, marking its second consecutive year as a leading force in the HUD LEAN program. In Fiscal Year 2025, VIUM ranked #2 nationally for number of transactions and #3 for total par volume, closing 44 HUD LEAN loans totaling more than $714 million.

This year’s performance represents a dramatic increase from the firm’s FY 2024 results, when VIUM closed 34 loans totaling approximately $345 million. The continued growth reflects strong market confidence in VIUM’s strategic approach, reliable execution, and deep expertise in seniors housing and healthcare financing.

“FY 2025 was another year of exceptional production for our team,” said Alison Lemle, Senior Managing Director and Chief Underwriter at VIUM. “The increase in both loan count and total volume is a direct reflection of our team's commitment to meeting client needs efficiently and effectively. Our pipeline for 2026 continues to grow, and we anticipate another strong year ahead.”

The HUD 232 LEAN program, which insures mortgage loans for senior living and skilled nursing facilities, continues to play a vital role in the long-term stability of the nation’s care infrastructure. VIUM’s ability to originate and close high volumes of HUD-insured loans amid evolving market conditions underscores its position as a reliable, responsive lender for operators and owners nationwide.

“Our growth remains fueled by consistent execution, strong relationships, and a client-first philosophy,” noted Brendan Healy, Senior Managing Director. “Owners and operators depend on HUD for long-term, stable capital, and they depend on VIUM to help them navigate the process with speed, clarity, and confidence.”

Since its inception in 2020, VIUM Capital has closed more than $6 billion in bridge and HUD healthcare real estate loans, with many recent HUD financings paying off bridge loans previously originated by the firm.
