Metropolitan Commercial Bank (MCB) announced on Monday, March 02, 2026 that it has received approval from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to participate as a lender in the Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) and LEAN (Section 232) programs. The approval allows MCB to originate FHA‑insured loans for healthcare facilities nationwide, including skilled nursing, assisted living, and other residential care properties.
The MAP/LEAN designation is expected to generate meaningful fee income and attract high‑quality, low‑cost deposits, strengthening MCB’s earnings profile and funding base. Management highlighted the bank’s deep experience in healthcare lending and its disciplined underwriting approach as key factors that positioned it for this approval.
By adding FHA‑insured financing to its portfolio, MCB can offer attractive, long‑term, fixed‑rate, non‑recourse financing solutions that support stability and growth for operators of healthcare facilities. The approval expands MCB’s commercial healthcare lending platform and reinforces its strategy of serving high‑quality operators across the country.
