Friday 30 September 2011 08:20
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook to stable from negative and affirmed its 'AA+/A-1+' rating on Colorado Housing Finance Authority's (CHFA) series 2002AA bonds. At the same time, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'AA+' long-term and underlying rating (SPUR) on CHFA's multifamily housing insured mortgage revenue bonds, series 1996A through 2002AA. The affirmed ratings are in anticipation of $5 million withdrawal from the trust estate in October 2011.

"The revised outlook reflects that of the bond program," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Lawrence Witte.
