Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) has promoted Steve Johnson to director of commercial lending. In his new role, Steve will lead CHFA’s multifamily lending, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) allocation, and small business lending teams.
Steve began working for CHFA in 1996 as a business finance loan officer. In 1999, he was promoted to manager of business lending production, where he successfully grew CHFA’s production from $10 million to over $100 million annually. Most recently, Steve has strategically guided the small business team’s efforts to diversify and expand the products available to help small businesses access capital following the economic decline. Steve says what drew him to CHFA and continues to be the most rewarding part of his job is the opportunity to do “banking with a mission.”
